5 Unexpected Perks of Joining a Remote Async Company

Your remote company’s dated in-office processes are tying its hands and cutting its perks. While we've ditched the commute, fluorescent lights, and in-person desk drive-bys, something's just not clicking.

For many remote work newbies, days have become an exhausting dance of notifications, quick meetings, and that relentless pressure to respond to everything RIGHT NOW.

The reason? Many companies are running remote work on in-office software.

But there's a MUCH better way. Async work.

Work hits differently in an async company. Time zones become superpowers. Deep work trumps digital presenteeism. And most importantly? Your time becomes yours again.

Want to know why remote workers are ditching their Zoom-heavy jobs for async remote work? Get ready – these 5 perks will blow your mind.

Perk #1: Your Brain Finally Gets to Focus

Synchronous work hammers your brain.

Between the endless Slack pings, back-to-back Zooms, and that soul-crushing pressure to stay visibly online, there's barely enough space to think, let alone create.

Nearly seven in ten professionals can't find enough time for deep work during their workday. And the impact is brutal.

Recent research shows these constant interruptions leave knowledge workers:

• Completely overwhelmed (73.2%)
• Drained of energy (73%)
• Stressed beyond belief (72.6%)
• Working at half-speed (71.7%)
• Questioning their worth (54.2%)
• Feeling like they're failing (49.4%)

An async company hands back the controls. Your focus time becomes YOURS.

No more attention ping-pong. No more quick calls that derail your afternoon. No more pretending to look productive.

Without the notification assault, you can wade into the meaty problems that need your full brain power. Finally, you can stop playing circus performer and get some real sh!t done!

Perk #2: Work When You're at Your Best

The 9-to-5 grind is dead.

In an async company, your output speaks. Your status bubble doesn't.

Early bird? Night owl? Who cares.You work when your mind's firing on all cylinders.

It's no shock that nearly one-third of job hunters are chasing this kind of freedom.

Think about it. When you're captain of your schedule, you sync with your natural rhythm and real-life demands.

No more forced code when your brain's mush at 8 AM. No more *ahem critical meetings right when you're hitting your stride.

An async culture trusts that you're a professional. And the result is real work done better.

Perk #3: Messages That Actually Matter

Every message needs to earn its existence in an async company.

Instead of the endless stream of synchronous chat confetti, you get thoughtful, complete async communications with substance.

Questions come with context. Decisions leave a paper trail.

But here's what's really wild.

On the off occasion when real time communication is unavoidable and you need a face to face, it's because stuff has to happen. None of that lazy status-update theater masquerading as essential collaboration.

You get genuine connection. Real problem-solving. Actual forward motion.

Perk #4: Your Life Gets Its Balance Back

Over 60% of workers say an async culture saved their work-life balance. And they're not just drinking the Kool-Aid.

In an async company, your calendar is yours.

Friend's birthday dinner? Shift your schedule. Kids soccer game? Already blocked off.

Working asynchronously means that work shapes around your actual life. NOT vice versa.

More than 60% of knowledge workers attribute their lower burnout to their async work. Important considering these nail biting 2024 stats:

• 44% of professionals are battling burnout
• 45% end their days emotionally spent
• 51% feel depleted after work

Async remote teams understand that work-life balance isn't a luxury or a negotiable job perk. It's the path to happier, healthier, more engaged professionals.

Perk #5: Your Work Speaks for Itself

In async companies, impact isn't invisible.

Every contribution you make - every piece of code, every document, every solution - becomes part of a searchable knowledge base for your asynchronous team.

No more getting overlooked because you're not in the office. No more great ideas getting lost in one-sided video calls.

Your work creates a trail that anyone can follow.

But this transparency doesn't just help you. It helps everyone.

New team members learn faster. Solutions evolve instead of repeat. And everyone SEES progress without the meeting marathon.

You Deserve Better Than Synchronous

Here's our challenge to you. Look at what synchronous work is costing you.

Review your calendar and count this week's unnecessary meetings. Think about the family moments you've missed. Honestly question how satisfied you are with your output.

THAT'S the price of synchronous work.

Professionals everywhere are waking up to this reality. In fact, 86% of knowledge workers are all in on async for their daily work.

They've uncovered something extraordinary. When work pivots from constant presence to meaningful contribution, from always-on to always-advancing, everything shifts.

Your potential is suffocating under endless notifications and performative presence. 

You're worth more than your response time. And your work deserves the chance to speak louder than any quick sync.

Stop letting synchronous habits hold your impact hostage. There's an async company with a killer culture waiting for you. It's time to seize your share of freedom.
