Hope it's here to stay for everyone.
I've been remote most of my professional life. The only hang up was meetings where half team was in office other half was remote. It created an odd "legs in two boats / chasing two rabbits and catching none" vibe. Now with everyone Zooming together it's smooth sailing.
When the pandemic is over. Kids are full time in school. Restaurants, bars, stores, and life is normal... It will be even smoother.
I am concerned for real estate because those values could plummet in traditionally high cost of living areas which may put pressure on companies to bring employees back inhouse to keep land value high.
- lmilcin 5y agoI have also been working remotely for the past around 7 years. After my initial experiences I have decided that remote only works under certain conditions and the most important is that all meetings are from your personal (office or home) PC. It doesn't work when the team has meetings on site but don't bother to invite the odd one remote guy. It likewise doesn't work when people sit together in a conference room but you are one of the few calling in. Bad audio both ways, problems phoning in, people just plain deciding to not bother setting it up... ugh. I am happy there is now no shortage of remote options.
- dboreham 5y agoSimilar experience. Pandemic made everyone work the same way I do. That said, I worked in 100% remote teams the previous decade so the Pandemic just opened up the rest of the industry as a potential place to contribute.
