Many made expensive decisions assuming remote work would become the norm. My guess is there is a large overlap between the bristling crowd and expensive decisions crowd.
Sure remote work is good for many experienced individual tech workers but bad for basically everyone else including the company and the communities remote workers have moved to.
The pro remote arguments reek of motivated reasoning. It is especially hard to escape noticing that remote work is financially beneficial for tech workers. Particularly as it relates to housing.
- lotsofpulp 4y ago>bad for basically everyone else including the company and the communities remote workers have moved to. Why? Is it better for places with more jobs and money to stay that way instead of spreading the wealth around?
- deschutes 4y agoI was thinking of upwards price pressure on housing stock in those communities as the main negative effect. Rationale being that tech salaries are going to be significantly above incomes the local economy supports and thus tech workers are going to be relatively price insensitive. That said, remote work is hardly the only thing contributing to this problem. And I agree with the idea that changing housing policy is the best way to address it. I don't dispute that there will be positive effects as well. They seem less significant to me.
