A new report from the LA Times said black employees are taking remote work options over physical job locations, even at a pay cut, to avoid "racism they faced on the job." The LA Times cited a "reprieve from racism" for his and others' decision to not go back into the office. The sentiment to stay out of the office is apparently shared by other black workers who have gone remote. The shift, according to the LA Times, is to "prioritize your mental health" over "endur[ing] for the sake of your career." "Companies have to recognize that if they really want to meet their commitments to diversity and inclusion, one of the best levers they can pull for that is remote work," said McCaskill.
