I think there is also another shift underway: experienced workers prefer to work as consultants for one or more companies, so:
(a) they not beholden to any specific corporation and its hierarchy
(b) they get tax write offs
(c) they get to work on projects that excite them
(d) they stay current with skills rather than stagnate
(d) and other advantages I can’t think of right now :)
And for consultants, being remote is the norm and corps don’t question it much.
- lumost 4y agoHasn't this always been the case in tech however? Experienced folks either seek more interesting/remunerative work, or they locate the closest sinecure via moving into low-pressure management, or high profit low ops maintenance efforts. An independent consultant can make bank, but for many legacy companies - the consultant is the only one they can pressure into working hard.
- d4rkp4ttern 4y agoPossibly, but I think the trend has accelerated due to corps being more open to remote work
