I think that's a point that some people miss. To have remote workers, you need people who can effectively work remotely. It's a learned skill, like any other, and not everyone will be good at it.
Saying "we're only local" or "we're only remote" is a bad idea, you can have both and call it a win on both ends.

- ntsplnkv2 9y agoA big thing in this thread is "fully remote." The fact is WFH does not need to be a full time thing for most companies. Just offer it as a benefit-if you want, you can work from home 2 days a week, or WFH if you need to be home to pick up a package or have a doctors appointment. That alone will make your company much more attractive.
- maxxxxx 9y ago2-3 days per week should be a no-brainer. Especially for developers writing code.
