No. The current top voted comment in this thread is a guy who's telling everyone how to live out of a van. Hint: it's so safe outside the corporate safe zones that he can park his car in a parking lot and sleep there without worrying about being hassled by anyone.
- gnufied 12y agoI agree we are not there but, I think there is a real chance of this happening. Wasn't there a thread sometime back about a company, which asked all its employees to live together in a shared community accommodation? The fact is - as cost of living goes up and commute becomes harder in big cities, Companies will adapt. I see primarily three ways: a. Embrace the status quo and employees commute via trains/cars whatever. b. Companies allow people to work from home. c. Companies realize that, it is much more cost efficient if employees lived closer to their offices. Some projects can't be easily worked from home, so what will a company with billions of dollars in cash will do? I don't think companies owe anything to people in general - other than maximize profits for their shareholders, so it is quite viable that they provide housing to their employees.
