Others that provide greater flexibility: work at home, flexible hours, focus on results, not time in the chair. Workers here are more likely to stay, are happier (57% more satisfied), and companies lose fewer people (25% less turnover). However, remote work is not ideal as well. Some feel lonely and at times you may be left out of promotions or salary increment, especially when you are a woman or have a family to care for
Remote workers feeling lonely is a matter of choice, the fact the work remotely doesn't mean they should be isolated. There are physical hubs for remote workers where they can network with people with similar passion as theirs, build and grow with. I believe happiness is a personal decision regardless of the kind of worker a person is.
Salary increment is result driven. A company will prioritize increasing the salary of a productive worker regardless of he/she been a remote worker or an office worker. Gender too has nothing to do with this.
