Case-by-case (what Google / OpenAI does) where top talent is identified and allowed WFH may outcompete both full-remote and both no-wfh companies (no-wfh is over at this point). It's a nice dream to have everyone wfh, but most people may not have that leverage / experience.

That’s what a union is for

  why would top talent risk their jobs and get less for the sake of supporting underperformers? thats how unions work in this case. they make a lot more sense where there's stuff like blatant safety issues in factory settings than when e1s are Mad Online that they have to go into office and it's Literally 1984

    Why do doctors and writers have unions? None of them are in a meat packing floor. Everybody thinks they’re special until they’re not. Tons of top talent at Amazon and Facebook were recently laid off. You’re not safe just because you’re smart.

      This is lies. Show me top talent that was laid off

        I used to work there and I know people who currently are mangers (among other positions) there. Maybe they’re all lying to me, but I doubt it.

        How do you know they are lying?

      Doctors don't have unions. They have guilds (or even better cartels a la AMA).

      True. And conversely your not smart just because your safe.

Case by case wfh doesn't work as well as all remote. Missing out on key decisions because you weren't there is a big risk, as is falling behind on camaraderie.

  It can cause big divisions that CAN work (a work from home boss, for example, managing people who are mostly in an office) but can also cause a haves/haves not issue. Going for work from home with defined "in office" periods (say one week a month at an office or working resort or whatever) can be a better division, but that puts the people who thrive in an office environment at a disadvantage.

So everyone knows you aren't "top talent" when they see you in person? Ouch.

  Everyone knows who "top talent" is now.

I have a feeling that will produce some discrimination lawsuits.
