As soon as it’s mixed in anyway, it’s the worst of both worlds. The company has the overhead of maintaining an office building, people cannot move to low cost of living locations, companies are restricted to hiring candidates that live within a 30 mile radius, meetings will automatically cater more to those present in the office instead of diving completely into remote first, there will be an unspoken pressure to come in more often etc. It truly is the worst.
- marssaxman 3y agoIt doesn't have to fail that way. The company I work for has an office, but there's no pressure to use it, and we hire people from anywhere within a reasonable time zone overlap. We are all on Slack all the time, and all of our meetings are video based. I was 100% remote for a while, and that worked fine; these days I'm in the office more days than not, and that's working fine too. I think mixed office/remote the way we're doing it is actually the best.
