H-1B Stamp Cancelled at Airport Over India Stay Sparks Remote-Work Debate

A Reddit post claims a US H-1B visa was canceled during preclearance at Abu Dhabi airport after a two-month stay in India with remote work for a US employer. CBP officials allegedly deemed the overseas work an overstay, canceling the visa stamp while leaving the underlying H-1B petition intact and prompting a reapplication. Experts caution that travel and remote-work arrangements can trigger discretionary actions by border officials, underscoring uncertainty for H-1B holders.

New-Collar Era: Skills Take Center Stage Over Degrees

The article explains how “new-collar” jobs prioritize skills, experience, and training over bachelor’s degrees, a shift backed by the idea that AI/automation is reshaping roles and that about 60% of jobs may not require a four-year degree by 2030. It highlights a skills-first hiring trend, the rising importance of certifications and portfolios, and the cost of college as drivers of change, with remote/hybrid work expanding access. Benefits include flexibility, independence, and potential pay growth, but downsides include unclear traditional upward mobility, ongoing need for self-directed upskilling, and some employers still preferring degrees. It also offers examples of new-collar roles and steps to break in, noting it can be especially suitable for Gen Z, remote workers, caregivers, and career switchers.

Ubisoft Ousts Assassin’s Creed Studio Lead After Public Return-to-Office Critique

Ubisoft Montreal level-design lead David Michaud-Cromp was fired days after publicly opposing the company's plan to require all employees to return to local offices five days a week, following a three-day unpaid suspension. The firing comes amid a Tencent-backed corporate shake-up that canceled projects like Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake and expanded layoffs. Ubisoft says feedback given within its Code of Conduct is acceptable and that dismissal was not described as a consequence of those public comments.

Home Depot trims 800 corporate roles, enforces five-day office return

Ubisoft unions push four-day strike over anti-remote-work and layoffs

Ubisoft unions representing several groups have called for a four-day international strike (Feb 10–12) in protest of the company’s restructuring, which includes game cancellations, delays, a shift back to full-time in-office work, and layoffs aimed at saving €200 million. The unions say there was little dialogue with management and point to a voluntary redundancy program, arguing staff autonomy is essential—‘without us, Ubisoft would never have conquered and transformed video games.’

Ubisoft under fire as restructuring triggers union strike and pay worries

France’s Ubisoft faces intensified worker backlash after a restructuring plan, with the Solidaires Informatique union organizing a strike and planning further action. The union demands an end to cost-cutting, the preservation of remote work, and meaningful pay rises, arguing management has pushed staff under pressure with under-staffing and a push to full-time office work as Ubisoft seeks to boost AAA performance. The atmosphere, according to the union, is deteriorating, with reports of tears and concerns about potential job losses.

Claude Code: when AI edits your code and reshapes the future of work

Claude Code: when AI edits your code and reshapes the future of work

Vox’s Future Perfect explains Anthropic’s Claude Code—an AI tool that can edit code and run tasks inside a project—and Claude Cowork for non-code work, describing how it works from command-line style use to plain-English prompts, what it can do (fix bugs, add features, run tests, iterate), and the risks (data loss, leaked secrets, rate-limit abuses). The piece argues this “AI coworker” could blur lines between coding and management, potentially turning remote workers into AI‑agent managers and prompting a shift in how white‑collar work is organized, while emphasizing careful use and backups.

Microshifting: The Ultra-Flexible, Nonlinear Workday Gaining Ground

Microshifting slices the workday into short, non-continuous blocks (roughly 45–90 minutes) separated by personal time, a radical form of hybrid work that aims to align productivity with energy peaks and life responsibilities. It’s moving from fringe experiment to mainstream in 2026, supported by parents, global teams, and gig workers, but critics warn it can foster an 'always-on' culture and create coordination challenges if not implemented thoughtfully.
