There seems to be quite a few people in here looking to join a startup.
We're a mature aerospace impact startup (in Switzerland) pre launch for a new platform to engage and empower passangers in order to accelerate sustainability in aviation. Our product website is www.adaption.me and company website is www.optimaero .ai.
If you're interested in joining us, and you think you have skills that suit our business, you could drop me a speculative application by email at hello@OptimAero.ai.

Facebook (Meta) Product Management (IC5) or Google Cloud Marketing S&O/ Annual Planning (L6) role if I want to eventually be working on Product Strategy for consumer tech?
Heard it hard to pivot from Google S&O to Product Strategy even with 20% projects internally…

I don’t want the commute. When they start investing in teleporting, I’ll consider returning.
Oh, how I dread commutes. That’s unpaid time.
At home, when I log off, I’m instantly free. No need to sit In aggravating traffic dwelling on the bad day at the office while you impatiently wait to get home, because you’re already there as a work at home employee.
If I can do the same work at home that I’d do in the office, then I choose having a home office.
No. And it wouldn’t be in their best interest; it could be too distracting.
RTO policies can never beat the two primary perks of remote work: a private bathroom and unlimited access to our pets.

Do people just not like their homes or families? Why would making the office a hotel make me want to go to it?
The better best reason for WFH: My wife was 'afforded' the opportunity to work from home, during the pandemic. Things kept chugging along, the work got done and the office was empty. She used to 'catch' a cold every third week, last for two, then cycle again. From March, 2020 to Sept, 2023, we were illness free. Then our oldest headed off to college and you guessed it, he got COVID second week in the dorm. Mild, thankfully, but still worse than the flu and still a little brain foggy today. The wife's company closed that office and made arrangements in another town. We all are relatively free from illness, except from my in-laws.
Our modern offices are disease ridden cesspools of mixing and matching illnesses until we either become tolerant or it develops into something else. Low flo, bad air quality and the 'tough-it-out' mentality that corporate America breeds, extends those illnesses. Lackadaisical cleaning along with bad lightning, cramped spaces and long hours are the reasons so many got so sick, so fast. Our bodies and out pysches were not intended for this. And people noticed. Better overall health is the case for hybrid or totally remote work wherever possible. Save the building of offices for building of homes. Save the roads for commerce and entertainment, not commuting. See more of your family or less of the walls of your cubicle. Office work culture needs to die, instead of over a million individuals.
Plus, we can pop all the popcorn we want and no one yells 'cobs' or complains about the smell.
To Senior Workforce Mgr: Yes to the lack of conversation about the environmental concerns in commuting. But, most of these corporate entities get enough tax incentives for the privilege of taking our money. How about taxing the ones able to do mass WFH and don't, clawbacks for those who said they would and didn't (see PPP loans) and serious legislation against moving operations to locales that employ at the lowest wage and give no benefits. Then after that, we can talk the environmental impacts of animal husbandry, oil drilling, fracking, mining...
No. Nope. Absolutely not.
Again.
No. I want a private office.
Left the US, and am now on-site 5x a week and lose 2+ hours a day because of commute 😭 I didn’t realize how great we had it
Nope, The work life balance allowed with remote work is nothing that could be replicated by a better office.
No!
Nope lol
That doesn’t change the commute.
absolutely not - we go in two half days per week and while I don't mind them & enjoy interacting then leaving, I can't get real work done there. It's TOO NOISY even though I have my own office the noise is still loud. In the cubicles it's even worse. The WFH crew has my full support.
No, it's mostly about the commute.
Is the commute short? I wouldn’t mind something within a half hour walking, biking, or public transit.
The cost of living within 5-10 miles of most offices (major city hubs) is unjustifiable.
Absolutely not
No. If i were still remote i wouldn’t return if c suite all dressed in drag and did the hula on live tv
