Problem solved, I’ll earn more from a company that treats employees with respect and the other companies will go out of business. Labour shortage in Australia is real right now, so it’s literally going to be impossible for these places to hire soon.
- Underphil 5y agoIs that strictly true? I mean it makes sense that the average fast food worker (who must be present) makes less than a software engineer (who may not need to be present), but does that translate across the whole job market?
- TempestSA 5y agoFor software engineering, anecdotally the companies pushing for 100% in office are the more traditional enterprise organisations, that haven't embraced technology and agile practices. While remuneration might be similar, there is a lot of red tape and working people willing to put up with bureaucracy are generally not as passionate and therefore try and palm off work or engage in politics. I agree in principle that 100% in office roles are a red flag and not worth the hassle.
- SauciestGNU 5y agoYeah at my current company it's at leadership discretion. My group is permanent remote, but some of my companion groups are being forced back to the office. Our pay across the board is dogshit though, and we're bleeding devs but the company won't let management pay what's needed to retain people. On that note, if anyone's looking for a senior/staff full stack swe with 5 years of react plus a whole bunch of other stuff, let me know. Please.
