Are you being sarcastic (esp, in light of your point 1) )?
Out of curiosity from someone not in the know, would remote employees cost more or less than ones made to come in every morning?
- tqkxzugoaupvwqr 10y agojoeax means managing / coordinating remote workers is often harder than on-site workers because of different time zones and conference software problems.
- joeax 10y agoThat is true there is a cost to managing remote workers. But after 1 or 2 workers the cost diminishes as there are established practices in place to ensure productivity: Slack, Skype or appear.in, join.me, Google Hangouts.

- jobvandervoort 10y agoAt GitLab we're completely remote, all our processes and documentation on this is open, here: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/ https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/
- fredsters_s 10y agoMuch less. Not just localized salaries (GH didn't used to do this, they may do now) which are always cheaper than SF, but for employees outside of the US no benefits cost, health insurance etc.
- joeax 10y ago> Are you being sarcastic Definitely not, I work remote. I feel I am more productive as remote employee, probably about 10-20% more. I read somewhere that for every 10 miles you commute daily, it costs you $10,000/year in gas/vehicle wear-and-tear/health and psychological side effects, etc, not to mention the lost hours sitting in traffic. Would you rather have your employees sitting in traffic, or working on critical projects?
