Smaller companies and organizations have an incentive of going remote-only or mostly-remote to save on rent.
Google owns offices. Similarly, Apple may have not demanded workers' presence in office if they haven't built their huge doughnut in Cupertino.
One can only hope that smaller orgs won't brainlessly copycat Google "because it's Google, they're big so they must know what they're doing".
- chasd00 3y agoAt my company, I recently joined a team that meets in the office once per week. I haven’t been to an office in years. It looks incredibly expensive, two floors in a very nice office building with every bell and whistle you can imagine. I saw maybe 30 people there total (including my once-a-week team). The rent plus the cost of operating the place… I can’t even guess how much money is being wasted. Shareholders would be pissed.
