remote-first means hiring the best-fit people for your company at the time and them working precisely when they're ready to be productive, zero commute, zero overhead.
good luck competing with that.
source: 25 years and 8+ companies working remotely, and obliterating competitors stuck in the old ways.
- kaesar14 3y agoInteresting that over those 25 years I can think of 1, maybe 2 start-ups that really succeeded being remote-first.
- asah 3y agomost companies didn't allow themselves to run the experiment. there's many examples where new projects ("startups") succeeded, including 1000s of FOSS projects that were remote-first. also, large companies often have products that get to market via cross-functional teams in lots of locations - they're remote-first by definition.
