Let's welcome this move and hope they do the remote thing and not layoffs.
Dropbox uses a model called virtual first, which is a remote policy where certain locals have “studios” that allow for collaboration.
This is the sensible thing to do, instead of laying people off to pay high rents for offices.
Doubling down on WFH. Love to see it.
Would have given back 100% if not for that stupid lease contract! Office spaces don’t make sense anymore in the internet age. They are as dead as the dodo.
Isn’t Dropbox remote forever? Doesn’t make sense to have an office
Office == giant waste of 💸💸💸. Renting office space makes as much sense as throwing cash into a river.
I remember how smug they were about their office when showing it off to me during their offsite.
Was it nice?
It was one of the best for its time, food was excellent.
