#23 days a week in office starting next summer for most Roblox employees.
Sounds like severance will be decent for people who choose not to go though.

#4>> But there was a pivotal moment for me when we had our first post-quarantine, in-person group gathering. Within 45 minutes I came away from three separate conversations with spontaneous to do’s and ideas to put in motion, something that hadn’t happened during the past few years of video meetings.
This is the only reason to work in an office: in person brainstorming is much better. Virtual brainstorming doesn't seem to cut it (or we at least haven't figured it out yet).
Something spontaneous about it that is hard to replicate via predetermined remote calls.

I came to post the same comment. They are going to lose their best people but it wont matter. Or their top 5% will get the ok to work remotely.
Roblox is the exact opposite of any company I would want to be involved with. It is a platform to create malformed children, a simulated dystopian hellscape.

#6I totally agree with the impact of spontaneous things happening when in person.
I had been working remotely for 8 years and really was 100% for it and advocating it. I recently joined a new job where I'm at the office 3 days a week, and I can definitely feel the difference both in the time it took me to onboard (compared to other remote-only onboarding I did) and the productivity / relationships / other gains from those days we are all in the office.
Those ad-hoc conversation happening around a desk, a white board, at lunch, do bring a lot of value that you never get while WFH. I can definitely see how some of my previous burn outs may have been prevented if I was not 100% remote.
Of course YMMV, but personally I can definitely see how a company may decide to get back to the office and it's definitely not all black and white where remote is better and omg the mean bosses are getting butts back in seats for more control.

No reason remote work can’t be spontaneous, even easier IMO because you don’t have to herd cats into the same space. A ping on chat and within 1 min multiple people can be in the discussion without even having to move.

#8At least they're giving people a full 9 months to relocate, including aligning it with the typical school year.

#10Right on schedule. My company just announced tightening of the hybrid and remote as well. It almost as if the CEOs thought pre-holiday you won't get as much grumbling. Not totally wrong. My bonus is not horrible ( not great, but nothing to sneeze at either ) and it genuinely reminded me why I don't immediately say fuck it.
That said, I am looking for full remote.
