Some staff members were alerted on Wednesday they were “not currently meeting our expectation of joining your colleagues in the office at least three days a week”, according to emails shared with the Financial Times. The emails were also discussed on the anonymous corporate message board platform Blind.
To me, the biggest positive about remote work is that you don’t have to live in a crazy expensive location. That advantage is mostly gone with hybrid where you still have to come in every week.
Also, companies benefit from having employees in less expensive locales having lower salaries but still being able to pay more than what the employee would otherwise make in that location. Good way to retain talent.
Im to chicken to move to a cheaper location but remote work is still massively valuable to me.
