#12Great job humans. Keep encouraging more daily commuters and contributing to greenhouse gases instead of making things better through technology. I am sure the next generations will thank us for this and not even showing the willpower to look at the issue objectively. /s

#13I think companies are trying to use the current economic environment as leverage to claw back some rights their workers have gained since 2020. It’s all about control, nothing to do with your output as an employee.

i really wish we could see some of the data that has made him change his mind so drastically.

#15Paywall blocking the article for me, but... I considered changing jobs to FB about a year ago. The recruiter was saying that they're remote-first and plan to stay that way.
Recruiters are there to get you hired, not to tell the truth. I imagine the messaging internally for recruiting teams has changed drastically. Is there anyone who still wants to work at facebook at this point? The company that is laying off thousands, that has wasted billions on a metaverse that no one wants, not to mention one that has helped rip apart the fabric of society? And now doesn’t want you working from hom…
As long as they pay top dollar, many people would. For many, works is not a question of morals, principles, or company values. It's a question of collecting tokens into their bank account at the highest velocity possible. Meta is still one of the top payers in the market, so people will keep lining up to work there.

The power dynamic does not require evidence, hence it being the root cause requiring a fix.

#17WFH may very well be a trap for companies to identify their "least loyal" employees. I've heard in business that if you're not at the table you're not involved. I can see a future where the same will be said about WFH: If you're not at the office you're not involved, a team player, or someone to keep.

Ancedotally, someone close to me who works at Meta has cited several outrageous examples of WLB'ers doing almost no work. Perhaps a few bad apples spoiled the bunch.

#19Meta needs its best engineers to be highly motivated in uncertain times. Otherwise innovation will be harder to come by.
All the best engineers I ever worked with so far all favor remote work because it increases code quality, throughput, and happiness.
Meta will be disrupted, seeing as whatever Meta tech they’re building isn’t even good enough for their own employees to dogfood for better remote work experience.
