Remote work promised freedom.
What it delivered was meetings without rooms, messages without tone, and workdays with no clear ending.
The Hell of Remote Work is a laugh-out-loud look at what actually happens when your job moves into your home and never quite leaves. From Zoom fatigue and Slack anxiety to being available at all hours, this book captures the everyday absurdities that every remote worker quietly suffers through.
Inside, you'll find sharp, relatable humor about:
Meetings that could have been cancelled
Cameras that stay on while energy disappears
Messages marked urgent for no clear reason
Productivity without boundaries
Working from home while somehow living at work
This isn't a productivity guide.
It won't teach you how to optimize your schedule or fix remote work.
It will simply make you laugh at the things you already recognize.
Written in short, punchy jokes designed for busy professionals, The Hell of Remote Work is perfect for reading between meetings, during breaks that don't feel like breaks, or after logging off while still feeling online.
If you've ever nodded on camera, replied Sounds good without knowing why, or wondered how working from home became more exhausting than going to the office, this book is for you.
Because sometimes the best way to survive remote work
is to laugh at it.
