Remote work in 2023
Given conflicting reports in news publications, job listings/layoffs and personal accounts on Blind, I’m trying to get a better read on the prospects for remote opportunities as a job seeker. For example, most FAANG are now requiring some in-office attendance on a weekly basis and formerly remote companies (SNAP, HOOD) are backtracking on remote-first. Should job seekers settle for hybrid or hold out for remote opportunities? Will it mostly be start ups that haven’t invested in campuses allowing remote a year from now? #tech #wfh #hyrbid #robinhood #snap
The real question is what’s taking the revaluation of office space and realtors that specialize in it so long?
I think fully remote work is going to get much harder for the next couple of years. Almost all people in my circle are hybrid now as more companies push for RTO for at least a couple days a week.
Companies will find absurd reasons to lay you off. Fully remote can be one easy way but if you’re top talent wouldn’t be too worried
Companies are trying to enforce return to work to not layoff people, some % of workers typically quit when forced to return. Playbook for SNAP and HOOD. Once things settle down next year or 24, hybrid is pretty normal and i strongly believe some companies will try to reduce office space expenditure and have WFH
Yeah that is our plan.
Companies wouldn’t use RTO as a differentiator for layoffs if they planned on going WFH down the line. Employees who perform better and prefer WFH would leave and then company goes back to WFH? There are better ways to execute lay offs than that so I’m not convinced
