Many companies such as FB, Twitter have already allowed permanent WFH. Some other companies like Microsoft, Google allow partial WFH.

Do you think most software companies will allow either permanent or partial (at least 3 days WFH) post covid ?

  • It’s gonna be back to normal some time after vaccines prove it’s effectiveness.

      I’m all for vaccines, but the rollout has been a disaster. It’s going to take a long time to end the pandemic, and even then, there will continue to be pockets of spread. Having people sit inside for 8 hours together is a big ask and still a risk when that’s how the virus spreads, and vaccines can’t be mandatory.

    • Yea, so you described the current situation, what’s there to invalidate my point? The roll out is just at the beginning and hasn’t yet showed the result to boost public’s confidence.

      The vaccine can’t be mandatory is also a moot point. When there’s reduced travel restrictions for vaccinated people, most will just gonna do it. From the current media propaganda fiasco, frankly it will also be “socially mandatory”.

    All it takes is for one company to require partial WFH.

    Then every company will be back in the office full time

      You work at Amazon and you’re saying that companies are going to just follow what orders do? Don’t you have to pay for your sodas?

      Sodas aren't typically a benefit one leaves for, at least I wouldn't.
      WFH is a benefit that many people on my team have already stated they will leave for if not given the option post covid, because they already moved out of the city.

    Switched jobs recently and many of the companies I spoke with mentioned being remote first. You'd still head to the office a few days a week yet not everyday
