With the 2024 Olympics, Companies Are Encouraging Remote Work. Brazilians Reveal the Backstage of This Change That Brings Joy to Those Who Are Passionate About Games.
With the arrival of the 2024 Olympics, France is undergoing a transformation that goes beyond sports. The host cities are adapting to a new reality, with significant changes in work routines and even travel plans for residents.
Imagine if, during an event of this magnitude, Brazilian companies encouraged remote work and relaxed employee vacation schedules? This is what is happening in the European country, according to reports from Brazilians living there.
Saluza Almeida de Oliveira, an engineer from Curitiba who has been living in France for a few months, shared her experience in an interview with G1. “At the company where I work, they told us to prioritize remote work and also to prioritize taking vacations. They don’t force anything, they recommended. So, for example, there are some foreigners who work with me who are going to Brazil on the 26th and only coming back at the end of August. They will spend 40 days working from Brazil”, Saluza said, highlighting how flexibility is becoming a solution for many during the Games.

Experts say that China and Europe should join forces to reconfigure the global order, strengthen UN-centered multilateralism, and expand cooperation in trade, technology, and climate amid the US withdrawal and the advance of a multipolar world.
Saluza’s husband, Bruno Jorge Silva Ribeiro, also told the mentioned portal that the measure to encourage remote work is mainly due to the roadblocks that the cities are facing. “Because of the event, there are physical barriers that limit access, such as exclusive streets, for example”, Bruno said, highlighting the logistical difficulties faced by residents.
In addition to changes at work, the couple also noticed a transformation in the school atmosphere. “Some are conducting activities related to the Olympic sports for the children”, Saluza added. However, she lamented not being in Paris for the official opening of the Games taking place this Friday (26), as she is on a work assignment in Gabon, Central Africa.
Meanwhile, Bruno is taking the opportunity to experience the event up close. He watched the men’s football match between Mali and Israel and commented: “I noticed that tourists from all continents have already arrived, and more will be coming.” This observation reveals the scale of the event and the cultural diversity it brings to the city.
The Atmosphere in the Streets of France
According to Saluza, there is “everything” in the streets of Paris. “Some people are calm, satisfied. For example, there are people who really love sports. In the city where I live, there will be cycling, and the local crowd is very excited, they love bicycles and sports. But at the same time, there are those who can’t wait for this to end, who think it’s a waste of money.”
This contrast of opinions reflects the diversity of perspectives among the French regarding the event. According to Saluza’s reports to G1, many merchants are taking advantage of the influx of tourists to boost their sales.
“Souvenirs have taken over Paris: there are t-shirts, stuffed animals, water bottles, mugs, keychains, and a myriad of customized items from the event”, she described, highlighting the positive economic impact for some sectors.
Paris 2024 Olympic Games
The Paris 2024 Olympic Games are scheduled to take place from July 26 to August 11, with over ten thousand athletes from 206 countries competing in 32 sports.
This edition of the Olympics promises to be historic, standing out for its technological innovation and sustainability, with events held in iconic locations such as the Eiffel Tower and the Seine River.
The Brazilian delegation arrives with high expectations, aiming to surpass the results of Tokyo 2021. Brazil is betting on sports such as volleyball, athletics, swimming, and judo to ensure a strong performance and increase its medal count. The team consists of veteran athletes and young talents, ready to represent the country and seek outstanding results.
