Ask HN: Remote work is dead inside big tech?

2 pointsby zkid18over 2 years ago
Every couple of months, I come across articles from different publications that sound the death bell for remote work inside big tech in the US and beyond. As someone who has been managing a startup of 40 -ish people remotely and following led a nomadic lifestyle for 2+ years now, there&#x27;s no doubt in my mind that it can be just as practical or more effective than being inside of an office.<p>In a FAANG-like company that hav a complex organizational structure and connections remote didn&#x27;t seem to find much benefit, except that employees liked it. The biggest problem for remote work is if employers of FAANG-like companies force workers back into the office. When there&#x27;s a majority of workers in the office, chat groups die down, and there is an &quot;in&quot; group and &quot;out&quot; group that forms, with the complications that arise from that.<p>What do you think?

Embrace inflexibility at your own peril.
