This seems "crucial or decisive" to me. Do you think that people are going to write one day about the move to remote working and coronavirus is not going to be mentioned..? Or that you won't be able to look at a long-term graph and see a spike? It looks like for a lot of organizations, this is forcing the decision to make a permanent major change that they would have postponed for years or decades to come - see my quote comment.
- nradov 5y agoThe move to remote working has been fairly limited, and only ever applied to certain white-collar occupations. Most employees still show up in person every day. Work location is part of the total effective compensation plan. Employers have always been able to pay people less and have a wider pool of candidates by offering remote work.
- gwern 5y agoThat addresses a completely different strawman claim like "the majority of workers are working remote", which no one here has made.
