Videoconferencing could have been just a fad during lockdown, but instead it has become a fixture of business life. Most meetings are now hybrid, most offices “flex,” and it is now possible to pop lunch in the oven while chatting with your supervisor.

Have employees finally been liberated?

Not so fast… Team(s) meetings come hard on each other’s heels without leaving time to stretch your legs or to debrief; our spouses inflict their strategy sessions on us in the living room; water-cooler gossip lost its appeal when it moved to WhatsApp, and the border between private life and work is getting erased… That’s the flip side of remote work. Forget the cliché of the nomad employee preparing presentations on a lounge chair on the beach.

Having first interviewed remote workers to find out what they really think, Alexandre des Isnards then composed lively and eye-opening little scenes that cleverly lambast the unexpected consequences of this revolution.

A portrait of office life… when no one goes to the office any more.
