Meta just announced layoffs and in the statement was very strong hints of RTO claiming productivity increases with co workers you trust. not asking/saying if it's right or wrong but now it looks like all of FAANG will have some in person requirement. I know remote work was a thing before pandemic for medium/smaller sized companies but is remote work over for big tc companies? my required time in office: encouraged once a week edit: also note that Zuck mentioned that people who switched to remote after being in person had the same productivity, but not fully remote people from the start
Most big companies are run by brainlets. It just takes one company to start the domino roll and the rest follow the trend regardless if it has any basis in reality. The disgustingly bloated and aggressively useless middle management folks (PMC) can be thanked for this.

I’m ok with current RTO policy that my company have(and majority on the market) Commute time for reference 40 min, 1 way including kids dropping off and picking up
How often do you go into office
I'll add to this. After covid my RTO was an expected 3 days in office for a typical work week. Not super strictly enforced so I didn't have anybody breathing down my neck if I did 3 days remote instead of 2. Similar commute time. I think direct supervisors and such have the highest propensity to make RTO policies suck the most. I do envy the 1 day folks, but the fact that it's _expected_ rather than _enforced_ makes it much less irritating imo
Objectively work gets done faster in-person. They don't give a fuck that you don't wanna live in SF. It's like hazard pay for people who have to work in the Middle East for big oil.
I remember those coffee breaks and times I fell asleep in meetings.
I think work gets done in person because work is considered work and you want to leave office by 6pm(India). While i was in WFH, i used to think multiple approaches before implementing the thing, and used to work after 6pm as well after taking a break with family. Now, i make it a point to not open laptop once i reach home. So yes work get's done faster in person, because i write shit to get it done before 6pm.
I think statistics still apply
Would be more helpful with context. Would like to see same chart with software industry specific data overlayed.

Hopefully office perks improve
How's Airwallex? Lots of working overtime?
Office perks? They are lucky if they don't have to share a desk
Lmaooo I’ve been remote work for years before the pandemic… to you simps who think remote work only existed in 2020… almost 100% of your sales teams are REMOTE. Welcome to the real world engineers ✌🏽
Sales doesn’t build anything. The argument is that remote work is slow for teams that need to build and ship. So yea, some teams are prob better positioned than others to be fully remote
Yep, our entire design org is remote and never going back. I've also been remote since 2010 for multiple companies in that time. UX and the dev teams all remote
Now is a good time to ask yourself the question, "How much is having a remote friendly job worth?"
A whole fucking lot
As a legally blind person with no transportation, I need the remote work option
RIP trust
Yes The idea of someone making $350k TC working for a Bay Area company while living in West Virginia with a mortgage of $1200 is stupid. Might as well hire someone from Europe instead for 1/4th the TC. Bay Area folks need to stick to their $5000/month rent for a 800sq ft studio and stay out of our LCOL. Inb4 mad
Bad take, will never happen due to international tax shit.
Gotta make the property value goes up. Execs investment portfolios have a lot of that
