Exactly; the tech companies in SF didn't have the backbone to require RTO like the finance firms in NYC did.
The cities' respective recoveries show that the finance firms made the right call.
- bubblethink 3y agoRight call for whom ? What's it got to do with backbone if it is just not in anyone (except landlords') interest to mandate RTO ?
- warning26 3y agoI'd argue that people having to leave their house every day is better for society as a whole, even if it feels a bit inconvenient. Having everyone lock themselves inside and exclusively interact via video chat is not a good thing, IMO.
- dumbotron 3y ago> Having everyone lock themselves inside and exclusively interact via video chat is not a good thing, IMO. Sounds like a Black Mirror episode.
- Ancalagon 3y agoIs "backbone" the new moniker for "iron fist"?
- surgical_fire 3y agolol people would just move jobs to keep working remote. That's the beauty of working in tech. There's a lot of companies to move over to. Finance is a lot more restricted.
- CydeWeys 3y agoAnd, interestingly enough, an increasing number of people have moved to NYC to work remotely from here. Living in NYC is a legitimate attraction in its own right, and is appealing to a lot of people even if they're not working here.
- surgical_fire 3y agoAs long as people are living where they can afford and enjoy, that's awesome news. Personally, I prefer to live in smaller cities, but I lived in a huge metropolitan area for decades. I just grew tired of it. In that regard, remote work for me is a blessing.
- lisasays 3y agoA better way of putting it would be: NYC finance workers didn't have the backbone to resist RTO like SF tech workers did.
