I would like to comment on something slightly tangential. With all this remote talk (other posts as well), you would think pre-pandemic 100% of people were in the office, but people seem to forget most tech companies have always hired some form of outsourcing in other countries and timezones.
For more than a decade I have been working with people in China, India, Mexico, etc., and now some people pretend like WFH is going to change everything. It's a bit hypocritical on the part of companies, and I suspect it's purely because they perceive WFH to be for cheaper, outsourced labor.
- frellus 4y agoThis is true, however on the whole hiring remote/off-shore usually implied a cluster of people working together in an office, so you get some synergies in terms of communication/collaboration as well as culture -- but it didn't mean people working from home.
