It would be creepy having to live in a employers' housing unit. But if it is subsidized enough many would jump on it.
The interview process at many of these company is already geared to bring in college graduates. So a dorm of sort would make sense. Then they could outfit them work spaces so you could live there and maybe work remotely (but only from a company provided housing unit).
How about just letting people work from home to begin with so they don't all have to be crammed into one town or one building so that they can then all type on a computer? It is rather interesting I think these companies sell digital connectivity, collaboration, -- but when it comes to themselves they like to shove everyone into buildings.
- rtpg 9y agoJapan has a lot of this, but it's usually a building in the middle of a city so you're not like... completely surrounded. But your neighbors are probably from the same company.
- mercurysmessage 9y agoCan you expand on this? I've spent a lot of time in Japan, but have never heard of it.
- rtpg 9y agoMany companies have appartments to rent for their employees, especially bigger companies in things like civil engineering. They'll usually let you rent for a super low rate (like $100/month), and though obviously your salary is given with an understanding you'll stay there.
