No, the trade-off is being able to hire the best people possible instead of the best people who will work in the office. Honestly, the office has been dying since 4G and high speed internet got everywhere. Offices should be optional - there if you need it, there for meetings, team work sessions and presentations. We don't have to work like it's 1998 anymore.

- iso1631 5y agoI do go to offices occasionally, as we have an on site data centres and I have to do things to it, also meet up every month or two with teammates to go for beer. I can't get any of my normal day-to-day work done in the office because of the crappy internet. I don't have 4 monitors there either unlike at home.
- sysadmindotfail 5y agoI did terraform apply from some rather remote places in 2021...I'd highly recommend leaving your apartment for some better locales.
- legerdemain 5y agoThe only thing I was able to find at the time was working from my car in the Starbucks parking lot. I have since left the Terraform job.
- scaryclam 5y agoPlease try and remember, as many people won't take a fully remote job as will not take an office bound or hybrid job. Lots of the best people are not interested in remote, so you're not going to get them by enforcing remote.
