I’m all for flexibility as long as I have the ability to go into an office and am not required to WFH

Yep. Stupid policy for any business to not allow office workers some WFH time. I worked for a company in industry that wouldn’t allow it, and interviewed with another that wouldn’t allow it. Now I’m seeing all kinds of stupid LinkedIn posts from these companies (and others) congratulating themselves with pics of staff in their home “offices”. What a complete 180.

Nothing like a pandemic to bring businesses into the 21st century.

Axios reports it could lead to the rise of smaller, more affordable cities if tech companies don’t need their workers to live near the HQ.

I saw that. And I like the thought of living in a more affordable city. Zuckerberg doesn’t think so though - he said he would localize FB employees pay on Jan 1st

Will be interesting to see how many redundancies are found and roles no longer needed.
