Remote Work Europe

Hello Reader, Your inbox may feel loud right now. Seasonal offers compete with job alerts, industry predictions, and familiar headlines about office returns, amid those endless Black Friday offers. The volume alone can unsettle even experienced professionals. Remote-ready workers need to rise above this noise, because reacting to every new signal only weakens your ability to plan and act with confidence. This is the week when stories get amplified far beyond their real importance. RTO...

Hello Reader, Black Friday is almost here, and many organisations will run heavy discounts to drive quick sales. We will not be doing that. Our approach at Remote Work Europe is different, and it has been since the start. This community has grown step by step. We publish helpful content, listen to what people need, and build resources that fit those needs. Nothing here has been driven by hype or fast launches. It is a slow, steady ecosystem that reflects what Maya and I believe in – fair...

Good morning Reader, Normally we try to find some overarching theme for these weekly newsletters, but at other times we find that what is going on around instead are lots of different stories and events and things happening… That don’t always seem to follow that much of a pattern! Is your career a bit like that? Or your life? Don’t worry, because some of us were just meant to be renaissance souls who need to have a lot of different things going on! So what’s happening at RWE?

Hi Reader, There’s a lot of talk about AI “taking jobs” from remote workers, especially freelancers, this year. But is that the full story? Or are we blaming the bots for something bigger? The truth is, 2025 has been a turbulent year for independent workers. Budgets have tightened, projects have paused, and hiring has slowed. Yet when we look closer, the reasons are often more complex than a simple tech takeover. Yes, automation is changing how work gets done. Content creation, translation,...

Good morning Reader, A year ago this week, the DANA floods brought Valencia to a standstill. Whole neighbourhoods were submerged, homes destroyed, and more than 200 lives lost.. Roads, transport links, and power networks were paralysed for days. Thousands of people were displaced. Businesses, large and small, faced unimaginable disruption. Those of us in the Remote Work Europe community watched in shock and sadness. Many of us have strong connections with the region, and we were deeply...

Good morning Reader, This week Valencia has hosted one of Europe’s most exciting gatherings for tech and entrepreneurship: Valencia Digital Summit. Thousands of founders, investors, and innovators came together to discuss the future of business and work. Remote Work Europe will be there too, showcasing our own solutions to the challenges remote workers face. Recent RWE News: The Remote Resilience Hub was on display, highlighting practical tools and prototypes designed to make distributed work...

Good morning Reader, Over the years, I’ve seen Maya step into some fascinating situations. Teams that thought they were remote but weren’t. Managers trying to lead from spreadsheets and endless calls. Startups spread across time zones but still operating as if everyone were in one room. And somehow, she would calmly help them find their rhythm again - often by changing how they communicated, documented, and made decisions. After working with so many distributed organisations, she realised...
