4 people on how their company’s switch to work-from-anywhere spurred them to move around the world (via CNBCMakeIt)

Amanda Gitahi was able to reunite with her husband, Lemmy, in Seattle after they had been long-distance for work for nearly a year.While some companies continue to debate remote and hybrid work for their teams, others are embracing a more flexible work-from-anywhere approach.

CNBC Make It heard from four employees about how Atlassian's new work-from-anywhere model changed how they live and work.Atlassian says more than 10% of its 3,000-person U.S. workforce have moved states during the pandemic, with the bulk of them leaving expensive cities in California and Texas. Gitahi has also been able to reunite with other family members — an aunt and uncle who have "become mentors and really important people in our lives," she says.

Bell feels she's adjusted to remote work well and doesn't think missing out on water-cooler conversations has limited her ability to connect with coworkers. "Honestly, I think being remote levels the playing field," she says. "Now we can capture these conversations in a written format, providing an opportunity for everyone to see what is going on. You don't miss out if you didn't happen to be at the 'water cooler' when the conversation happened.
