Lifestyle-Driven Careers

Guilherme Oliveira had worked remotely for GLLG for six years, much of it from Brazil, when he gave this talk on returning to the office. He shared research showing many workers fear the return will hurt their mental health, and the story of a friend who thrived remotely but now cries in the office bathroom. His own best ideas, he said, come while surfing and traveling. He urged companies to plan for lifestyle-driven careers rather than one standard benefits package.
