“I thought this period of remote work would be the most challenging year-and-half of my career, but it’s not,” said Brent Hyder, the chief people officer for business software maker Salesforce and its roughly 65,000 employees worldwide. “Getting everything started back up the way it needs to be is proving to be even more difficult.”
The main reason: Tech companies have long believed that employees clustered together in a physical space will swap ideas and spawn innovations that probably wouldn’t have happened in isolation. That’s one reason tech titans have poured billions of dollars into corporate campuses interspersed with alluring common areas meant to lure employees out of their cubicles and into “casual collisions” that turn into brainstorming sessions.
Even Zoom, the Silicon Valley videoconferencing service that saw its revenue and stock price soar during the pandemic, says most of its employees still prefer to come into the office part of the time.
“When I don’t have that, I wake up in the morning, I start doing work and I take my kids to their camp or their daycare,” Soderlund says. “And then I come back and I work and then we pick them up, make dinner and then I go back to work. So, it feels like it’s just work all the time.”
I imagine twitter support needs it for the 'Which liberal cause we will snuff to promote terrorism for bitcoin' collaboration but most other tech companies should be fine
In other news, water is wet… Of course for the vast majority of workers the office isn’t needed, it’s always been about control. Control over your life, your time, your family, and the only way to get that is to force you to waste time commuting and sitting in that chair…
What better perk is there than being in your own comfortable space? With no coworkers being annoying or bossed M'kaying over you. Sigh...
Interesting how different technology & gaming companies have had a wide mix of experience during all of this...Also how they have responded/communicated to/with their customers. As a gamer I have seen both success & failure from companies from 2020 to today in all of this...
The dumbest myth is unlimited vacation time benefit instead of paid time off, where low-life employers are stealing from their labor as the slave drivers they are!
'open offices' are a goddm nightmare for the introverts of the world. they usually come up with the good ideas too since they aren't blathering all day.

mliedtke BOrtutay It’s seems illogical for folks who probably spend much of their workday in front of a screen of some sort .. to drive into work to sit in front of a screen
mliedtke BOrtutay Don’t do it
mliedtke BOrtutay The fact that they've struggling SHOULD tell them their employees dont want to
mliedtke BOrtutay If employees are doing their job what does it matter where they’re doing it? Just because things were done one way doesn’t mean it needs to continue in the same way. Companies need to evolve. Remote work is good for employees and especially good for the environment.
mliedtke BOrtutay As soon as WFH proved to be viable, every office building should have been remodeled or retrofit into apartments. Offices and the daily commute to them are a waste of increasingly more scarce resources.
mliedtke BOrtutay Silicon Valley underestimated the human intelligence and substituted with reward system. Buy as much you can.. We will still meet and greet..🙂 (Note to the Silicon Valley sponsers: Do Gods exist in Silicon Valley..)
mliedtke BOrtutay Why? Why in the name of Christmas do companies want to spend so much on this? No office means you can hire from thousands of miles away. IT SAVES MONEY.
mliedtke BOrtutay Companies that can not adapt to new work conditions be it from home or wherever have a management problem, not an employee problem. COVId has shown we can be just as productive WFH and companies need to adapt. So many benefits to both parties it's foolish to ignore.

mliedtke BOrtutay A cousin of mine works with Visa and finally got them to allow him to work remotely permanently. Has to work within an hour of a Visa building for 'occasional meetings' but it took twisting arms and legs for almost 18 months. He's done better work in his home vs office
mliedtke BOrtutay DON'T. Why must workers be in the office? How much of our cities must be gawdy and cluttered by workplaces? How much fossil fuel use can we justify for needless commutes? If you find 'work days' too short or managers unnecessary then you're just looking to hide that info now?
mliedtke BOrtutay horrible
mliedtke BOrtutay Why does it need to end?
mliedtke BOrtutay I know we all probably must have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to Ronelmoses4 on Twitter he guides me through and i made a return of $10500 after a week of trading, connect with him
