Just like everything else, this is just another way to determine which companies I want to work for. For folks like me who are 100% on-board with remote work, I won't work for Google because it's a dealbreaker for me. (They probably wouldn't have me!)
For others, it's not.
That said, at this point I'd almost go as far as to say that city centre-based offices will eventually be consigned to the dustbin of history. Who thought the idea that spending 2 hours a day travelling to and from a physical location (and having to pay for it!) to generate larger profits for shareholders was a legitimate or sensible use of human time and capital?
My health, both physical and mental are immeasurably higher as a remote worker. The biggest argument I hear is "But you don't get to socialise anymore!" but of course I do. I socialise with my colleagues both remotely and in-person and more importantly, I socialise with those I _want_ to socialise with. Members of my community, friends, family, people I choose. Not people who passed the same interview as me.
