Being a remote worker on either a hybrid team or a fully remote team can sometimes feel lonely, but Reddit provides a place to share and discuss ideas with fellow digital nomads. At some companies, remote employees are the only one in their city, state, or even country. At others, you may meet up with coworkers at shared workspaces like WeWork or local coffee shops if you are craving some in-person co-working time. Sometimes, though, you just need to bounce ideas and ask for advice from fellow virtual workers, like what video conferencing platform they use, or the best noise-canceling headphones for when your family or roommates are around and you are trying to code.

Reddit is a helpful tool for individual contributors, managers, and executives alike. If you're trying to get a pulse on how employees in certain industries feel or the latest remote work technology that your team needs, Reddit provides a place to ask questions and get honest feedback from folks online. It also a great place to find remote team building ideas and create mutual connections for team bonding.
