there's now multiple unicorns who have proven purely remote companies can work just fine. I'd say it's the opposite, people stuck in the past will cling to office work while actively hurting their business. Meanwhile actual innovators will take advantage by poaching quality talent from these companies
Google and Tesla can force office work by paying ridiculous amounts of money, good luck with your shitty startup getting quality people to join while not offering remote. Engineers on HN for years have talked about hating open offices, remote work is a gift if you actually value productivity
- hiyer 4y agoI don't think it's so black and white. I prefer remote work but I know lots of people who prefer to work from the office. For various reasons - their home is too noisy, they like the food at office, or they just like the company of colleagues. The last one can be a productivity killer though - at a large tech company I used to work for, most people would just exchange pleasantries until lunch and start working only after that.
