WFH is also doing an amazing job to help people who would otherwise be marginalized.
In particular, I've seen how remote interviews help people that are wheelchair bound or have subtle issues with their eye-sight (that are only noticeable up close) get through some of the hidden (or even unconscious) biases that still exist in all of us and end up screening-out some otherwise great candidates.
- BoxOfRain 5y agoOn the subject of disabilities in tech, one of the best things for me about WFH is that I have a disorder which casues (among other things) light sensitivity issues and most offices have horrible lighting for triggering that. Being able to WFH where I have things set up to be comfortable as possible in this respect is an absolute godsend and I honestly wouldn't go back to the office even on a hybrid basis if my salary was tripled. I quit my last job over a mandatory return to the office, it's an absolute red line for me now when considering a role.
