Private bathrooms, better coffee, no annoying co-workers, no smelly co-workers, no commute, no chance of being mugged or stabbed, better decorations and access to cheaper / healthy homemade food are all reasons WFH isn't going away.
- shadowgovt 2y agoWhen new hires at Google were given the tour, one of the things mentioned some fifteen years ago was the philosophy of the free snacks. Google wasn't competing with other mega-corps; they saw themselves as competing with the best and brightest going into business for themselves or staying in academia, because it was comfortable and you could work at your own pace. The founders of the company knew they were just two chucklefucks who decided to monetize an idea they had in college; they saw that as possible for most smart folks in the world, and believed that's what they were competing against. Looks like a generation of software leadership after them has lost sight of that, and it'll be interesting to see what happens as the bluff is called. Working for yourself can be extremely hard. But the snacks are good and the bathroom is always close by.
