Probably a popular opinion, maybe not to some but I think companies should be planning on how they can keep their workforce WFH post COVID for the well being of everyone in many aspects versus herding people back to the office like cattle once they find a loophole in legal liability. Quality of life has improved so much not having to spend 2+ hours in traffic. It’s the future of working, I don’t see the issue with giving the freedom now to those who have proven they can do it.

Be firm in your WFH demands otherwise employers will try to stick employees into small overcrowded open offices again. WFH will be a major factor in accepting any job offers even after Covid

I have a feeling companies will offer it with a corresponding paycut for people who moved to a lower cost of living area

Companies love nothing more than reducing employee wages

Spoke with a recruiter that said he’s seen an average decrease of 20k across the board for openings, so I think you’re are right unfortunately. I think we are already seeing it for the B4 with slow moving increases also.

Hi all! I’m in the search of a remote HRBP role, looking for a company that is willing to pick me up as a new HRBP. I’ve been in the role 4 months, but this company is a disaster. The culture is so bad, I had an employee say they can’t even go to the bathroom without permission. I’m really not wanting to go back to a generalist role. Prior to this job, I had another offer of HRBP but I didn’t like the interview. Been in the field 6+ years. Let me know if anyone has anything!

The recruiter will let me know if any remote roles come up but in the mean time, does anyone have any remote Amazon roles that they’d refer me to?
