Here we go again!
Let's have another 500+ comments thread full of subjective opinions. I am sure this time everyone will agree on one universal truth and we'll all hold hands. /s
Companies are free to try and enforce whatever they like. The job market will respond accordingly and a new balance will be found.
That being said, such measures are only leading to more and more segregation (tinfoil hat: maybe that's the actual goal here?). I don't enjoy the idea of a society even further segregated but hey, I am not judging either side for preferring to work in an office or at home. Work where you like, as long as you actually have a choice and your livelihood is not threatened.
And that is the key element that always flies out the window even at the start of every WFH / WFO discussion: give people a choice.
If you can't do that then you're more or less declaring war on one of the sides and then don't get surprised at the repercussions (whatever they might be; I am not implying anything in particular).
- bradlys 4y agoI despise remote/wfh articles for this reason on HN. At this point - some ML script could do a better job creating new comments than what people on HN could. Everyone has to share their 10,000th anecdote about why work from office killed their pa and remote work - in the particular version they are experiencing - is the messiah.
- pdimitar 4y agoThere are extremists on both ends of the spectrum, sadly. I work from home ever since the start of 2011 and I don't feel the need to bash the people who prefer to work onsite. I do take issue with those who want to remove the choice however. Even with that I know I'll not change their minds with pixels on a screen so 95% of the time I just abstain.
