It’s shocking how many of these articles just assume that all these remote workers are for some reason still within commuting distance of the office.

I took the first opportunity I could to move to Hawaii.

Got sucked into a job where they said it was a couple days a week if people were in the office, but my team is overseas so I will essentially be remote.

Now they flipped on us and require everyone do 5 days regardless of where their team is. My guess is they want engineers to quit so they can explain why they missed their garbage targets.

So anyways, I've been interviewing a lot.

Or they are hiring overseas. My company realized we can crush targets remotely...so now they decided they can rapidly expand in Brazil and India without the cost. My team is one of the only engineering teams in the entire company that hasn't been hit with this yet.

With that said, there ARE benefits from this policy - we have more support during on call hours.
