My point is that its supposed to feel good but that verbatim reading isn't really whats happening.
Over the past two years lots of people left the SFBA, Seattle, NYC etc. They didn't move to the US Bible Belt they went to islands, Miami, Austin, Southern California....
so to keep talent and get some of the other talent back, they released this statement. about nomads.
It's not about people with feeble parents and health issues that get them stuck in the midwest, or those really there by even easier choice. Maybe it will never be about them.
Its not charity, its a reaction to their own workforce.
- teirce 4y agoOf course it is in the company's interest. That's why they are doing it. I used my life in the bible belt as an anecdotal example, but it can apply to many places. Disparaging a company's move just because - acktualllly it benefits them - will have you hating every business on the planet. My point here is they didn't _have_ to do this. Places like Google and Apple are all but telling remote workers to kick rocks. Others like Facebook say 'be remote but we are doing CoLA.' ABNB's policy here is the most fair (and generous) out of the ones I've seen. If that attracts workers, good for them.
