# Is remote work here to stay?

Regardless of your corporate culture or views, remote work became a necessity for everyone as this global pandemic descended several months. But eventually — hopefully — we’ll come out of this. And that has many folks asking whether remote work is simply a passing fad or if it’s the future of work as we know it.

[Darren Buckner](https://twitter.com/darrenbuckner/), founder and CEO of Portland startup [Workfrom](https://workfrom.co), is bullish on the future of remote work — and has been for quite some time. Here’s his take via Twitter thread:

> 1/3 I'm asked daily if remote work adoption will stick post a COVID-19 forced WFH policy. People are skeptical. They point to adoption beforehand as steady, but nascent. Many large orgs and industries have cultural resistance.
> 
> The answer is surely yes. Here's why. [\#remotework](https://twitter.com/hashtag/remotework?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)
