Concerns for the Grammy-award winner, 47, initially began yesterday after a Twitter user whose account has since been suspended wrote "I have killed Eminem". In light of the post, Twitter users appeared to panic as "#RIPEminem" started trending, leaving many fearing the worst.

A worried fan penned: "Me checking twitter to make sure Eminem is okay #ripeminem." The rapper's shocked fans took to social media to share their worry

Concerns for the Grammy-award winner initially began after a Twitter user shared a troubling tweet

"BRUH I THOUGHT EMINEM ACTUALLY DIED CAUSE ITS 2020 AND ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN BUT ITS JUST YALL PLAYING TOO MUCH AGAIN #ripeminem," another remarked.

While a third shared: "why is #ripeminem trending he is alive stop doing this it's 2020 aka the worst year of all time."

However, it seems that the hitmaker is alive as he or his team haven't released anything about his health so far.

This isn't the first time fans have thought Eminem was dead after some were convinced that he died in car crash in 2007 and music bosses replaced him with a cyborg.

Another shared their post with a meme of former President Barack Obama wiping tears away

Fans are convinced the lyrics in his 2014 track Cinderella Man confirms this when he raps: "That boy's hot enough to melt hell, burn Satan too/ Fry his ass and put his ashes back together with glue.

"This game couldn't afford to lose him/ how about you?". In April, the acclaimed rapper celebrated being 12 years sober and shared a picture of his sobriety coin.

He captioned the picture on Twitter: "Clean dozen, in the books! Im not afraid."

This isn't the first time fans have thought Eminem was dead. The real Slim Shady - who has been open about his years of addiction - has marked the date each year with a similar photo.He ended his years of drug abuse on April 20, 2008.

The rapper, who is currently isolating at his mansion in Detroit, MI with his daughter Hailie , was addicted to prescription pills Vicodin - he even had a tablet tattooed on his left arm, Valium and Ambien

The following year, after a five-year hiatus at the peak of his career, a period that included a 2007 methadone overdose, the rapper released the album Relapse, his first attempt at recording after getting clean.

In April, the acclaimed rapper celebrated being 12 years sober. In 2010, Eminem took another leap forward with the companion album Recovery. "It's no secret I had a drug problem," he told Vibe magazine in 2009. "If I was to give you a number of Vicodin I would actually take in a day? Anywhere between 10 to 20. Valium, Ambien, the numbers got so high I don't even know what I was taking."

Eminem went to rehab in 2005 to get treatment for his addiction to sleeping pills. But in 2007, he spiraled out of control again and was hospitalized for a methadone overdose.

As the weeks have dragged on, however, such fancies have quickly proven to be an illusion.

Jaded by trying to fit a workday around homeschooling children, spending too much time with their spouses, and (in some cases) crushing loneliness, many workers are desperate to get back to the office. In fact, a recent survey found that 86 percent of South African office workers are ready to return to their places of work. Similarly, the Wall Street Journal reports that companies are finding that fully remote workforces mean that projects take longer, collaboration is harder, and that training new workers is a struggle.

But how to balance that need for structure with the flexibility a post-pandemic world demands? The key lies in reimagining the office in a way that suits both companies and employees.

Why remote isnt working

It is, of course, tempting to say that the reason companies are struggling with remote work is because of the pandemic. After all, no one can pretend that being confined at home while trying to maintain a relationship with their romantic partner and homeschool their children on the side is simple. Different, but equally stressed out are the younger employees whove had to turn their house-share bedrooms into offices, or been forced to spend all day with housemates they mightve only seen occasionally. As an oft-repeated meme from the past few months points out, were not so much working from home as living at work.

Without the usual perks of remote work, such as being able to decamp to a coffee shop from time to time, have in-person meetings, or hook up with friends early on a Friday afternoon, remote work quickly starts to lose its shine.

But theres more to it than that. In order for remote work to be effective, a company has to be willing to commit to it entirely. Moreover, it has to be sure that its employees are capable of working remotely. Thats why companies that are remote from the start often fare better than those that adopt it as a policy later on.

People whove spent their whole careers in an office are simply likely to feel more comfortable in a properly structured work environment.

The benefits of the office

Its also worth bearing in mind that offices come with benefits of their own, outside of providing somewhere to work. For many people, interacting with colleagues can act as a spark for collaboration and help foster innovation.

That serendipity is one of the main reasons why then Yahoo CEO Marrisa Mayer banned employees from working remotely in 2013. While there was considerable push-back from staff, the reasoning was at least sound. Its also easier to call an all-hands meeting during an emergency when all hands are, as it were, on-deck.

Thats not to say that the traditional office isnt without its pitfalls. Among the reasons most frequently cited for wanting to go remote are constant interruptions and an inability to do so-called deep work.

A different future

Many of those pitfalls can be avoided with a different approach to the office. The traditional method of searching for office real estate, signing long-term leases, and trying to make it work as the organisation grows and shrinks simply isnt tenable any longer.

Instead, organisations should turn to office solutions that can adapt to their needs, no matter what phase of growth theyre in, and which have a deep understanding of what makes for a good, professional office environment. Such a solution also allows companies to easily bring employees into the office when its useful, while allowing them to deep work at home without wasting money on empty desks.

This kind of flexibility also produces savings, which can help companies build resilience against any future economic shocks.
