Why working from anywhere isn’t realistic
For most white-collar workers, it used to be very simple. Home was the place you left to go to work. The office was almost certainly where you were____76____. Co-working spaces were for entrepreneurial people in T-shirts who wanted to hang out with other entrepreneurial people in T-shirts. You could stay at a hotel on a work trip, but it was not a place to get actual work done, which is why a hotel’s “business centre”____77____all of business as using a printer.
The pandemic has thrown these neat____78____up into the air. Most obviously, home is now also a place of work. According to a recent Gallup survey, three-quarters of American workers whose jobs can be performed____79____expect to spend time doing just that in the future. And offices are increasingly where you go to put the company into company – through collaborative work and social activities.
____80____, the boldest version of remote working extends well beyond these two locations. “Working from anywhere” imagines a completely____81____existence, in which people can do their jobs in Alaska or Zanzibar. The idea sounds wonderful. Nevertheless, plenty of____82____remain. Some are practical. The payroll and tax of working from different locations in a year are an administrative headache.____83____, working from anywhere is only feasible if your equipment functions reliably. If you spill suntan lotion on your laptop, the people on the hotel’s reception desk are more likely to offer you____84____than a replacement computer.
Another set of obstacles is more_____85_____. The carefree promise of working from anywhere is far easier to_____86_____if you don’t have actual cares. Children of a certain age need to go to school; partners may not be able to work remotely and have careers of their own to manage.
The option to work from anywhere will be most attractive to people who have well-paid jobs and fewer_____87_____: childless tech workers, say. For many other people, the “anywhere” in working from anywhere is a simple choice between their home and their office. That might be a recipe for_____88_____within teams. Imagine dialing into a Zoom call covered in baby drool (口水), and hearing your colleague Greg saying how amazing Chamonix (法国城市夏蒙尼) is at this time of year.
Adding it to the menu of working options for sought-after employees_____89_____. The working-from-anywhere policy will probably help employers attract better people. But for the foreseeable future, working from anywhere will be a bonus for a lucky few rather than a(n)_____90_____for things to come.

Why working from anywhere isn’t realistic
For most white-collar workers, it used to be very simple. Home was the place you left to go to work. The office was almost certainly where you were____76____. Co-working spaces were for entrepreneurial people in T-shirts who wanted to hang out with other entrepreneurial people in T-shirts. You could stay at a hotel on a work trip, but it was not a place to get actual work done, which is why a hotel’s “business centre”____77____all of business as using a printer.
The pandemic has thrown these neat____78____up into the air. Most obviously, home is now also a place of work. According to a recent Gallup survey, three-quarters of American workers whose jobs can be performed____79____expect to spend time doing just that in the future. And offices are increasingly where you go to put the company into company – through collaborative work and social activities.
____80____, the boldest version of remote working extends well beyond these two locations. “Working from anywhere” imagines a completely____81____existence, in which people can do their jobs in Alaska or Zanzibar. The idea sounds wonderful. Nevertheless, plenty of____82____remain. Some are practical. The payroll and tax of working from different locations in a year are an administrative headache.____83____, working from anywhere is only feasible if your equipment functions reliably. If you spill suntan lotion on your laptop, the people on the hotel’s reception desk are more likely to offer you____84____than a replacement computer.
Another set of obstacles is more_____85_____. The carefree promise of working from anywhere is far easier to_____86_____if you don’t have actual cares. Children of a certain age need to go to school; partners may not be able to work remotely and have careers of their own to manage.
The option to work from anywhere will be most attractive to people who have well-paid jobs and fewer_____87_____: childless tech workers, say. For many other people, the “anywhere” in working from anywhere is a simple choice between their home and their office. That might be a recipe for_____88_____within teams. Imagine dialing into a Zoom call covered in baby drool (口水), and hearing your colleague Greg saying how amazing Chamonix (法国城市夏蒙尼) is at this time of year.
Adding it to the menu of working options for sought-after employees_____89_____. The working-from-anywhere policy will probably help employers attract better people. But for the foreseeable future, working from anywhere will be a bonus for a lucky few rather than a(n)_____90_____for things to come.
