Though I would probably argue with this article to some extent, the strength of remote isn't as big a sell for this large influential companies. I think the real selling point is that you can get high level talent form anywhere, the Googles and Facebooks of the work already have access to that talent, and have hubs all over the world. I would argue remote work is a bit of a bottom up movement, and we won't really see it shift to top down unless there is another wide market adoption that it becomes a requirement by potential employees. And as long as you're offering at least 50% more than competitors, I don't see that happening.

They recently announced that their 5th engineering hub would be fully remote: https://stripe.com/blog/remote-hub https://stripe.com/blog/remote-hub Stripe is doing what many other older companies already do: have a core of on-site office workers but also open a satellite office that has remote workers. Google and Microsoft also have pockets of remote workers. Again, I don't think Stripe's 5th hub being "remote" is going to radically convince a lot of business managers. But that blog announcement is recently dated May 2 2019 so it's too early to predict its potential influence. Do you think it will really turn the heads of business leaders?
