Why is it always tailored to the companies and not the candidates? People have worked a few years remote, changed their locations, found new routines, and now cause companies want to build "culture" we need to go back to 2019? Like the kind of culture where you work 20 years at a place and get laid off via email? Or your fob stops working when you get to your building? Big money has INVESTMENTS into these buildings and can't afford to not have bodies in seats. Just more boomer non-sense.

“Pass up a chance at your dream job?” Working from home is part of my dream. Why aren’t companies more open minded to that?

like

My company brought everyone back and now we cant backfill any of the 30-40 employees that have left. We're losing people by the day and getting turned down from new candidates because we don’t offer any sort of flexibility. "Dream job" is such a myth, 90% of jobs can be done by anyone with some training. People like to think their companies and positions are a lot more complicated. They're not, especially tech people...as we've seen with layoffs. All replaceable and still function fine.

Remote work is the future. It’s as simple as that. I perform way better when I’m working remotely! I don’t have to worry about what am I going to wear tomorrow, or deal with dreadful rush hour traffic.

My dream job will never live in an office. I’ve been remote for almost 9 years and I refuse to go sit in an office when the same job can be done from my home. Companies need to adjust to the times. Period.

I don’t think anyones has been expect maybe a cool office like Google etc. But, then you get the other side of a "cool" office where people are getting lattes and watching movies all day. Either way, I truly believe people are more productive at home with minimal distractions because they want to KEEP the privilege. And if they're not, that person shouldn't be working for you. Simple.

23 years in sales, largest 1099 990k, genXer, but they call me a boomer!!! I am proud of it.

Remote is NOT the future. You want sales? Get the peeps in a pit and make them compete. Culture builds the intangibles. You see the team comparing commission checks on the 15th and watch the fire that grows from that. Irreplaceable!

Haha “checks”! Who gets checks anymore? What is this boiler room?!

He does not really know what he is saying, I have been remote for 12 years, and I wouldn’t take a job to go in the office even make more. You could def have a work life balance working at home, and get more done.

Companies need to be more open-minded to remote work or at least hybrid. I love working from home, and I am way more productive at home. A lot of jobs can be done from home.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs.
