overgeneralising wildly, many workers want to be remote. and management wants people in the office. who will win?Permalink Look on archive.org

if people are remote, you need to design your workplace culture pretty differently to include them. which isn't going to happen in a hybrid model - the point of it is that you can still keep an in-office culture, while giving ground to workers who don't want to be in the office.Permalink Look on archive.org

I would predict that people would slowly drift back to just being in office - ah, this meeting would go better if I came in, I don't have a good workspace at home, I want to make a good impression by showing my face every day...Permalink Look on archive.org

except on the other side, if you're trying to hire for a tricky role, there's suddenly a load of talented candidates who have working remote as a deal breaker. and if you're (vaguely, badly) set up for remote work, you could deal with that. or maybe just for a year til they move.Permalink Look on archive.org

also in the mix - the companies we're talking about usually have multiple offices, probably in multiple time zones. so they'll be on Zoom the whole time anyway. if anything they need bigger offices, so people can take calls in meeting rooms rather than from their open plan desks.Permalink Look on archive.org

oh, yeah: as there are more remote tech jobs, some funky stuff is going to happen to salaries. right now, where you are has such a huge bearing on how much you're paid. what happens as those start to decouple? as an example: rents are currently soaring in Denver.Look on archive.org

this thread gives some lived examples of what this will look like, and how messy and unequal it will be @lizardengland/1424108107958046727?s=19Permalink Look on archive.org

my company has just announced that, rather than requiring hybrid work for everyone, different departments can work remotely (if the execs decide on that)Permalink Look on archive.org

one year later, and this prediction is looking pretty spot on - see nytimes.com/2022/05/22/business/hybrid-work-office.html @v21/1406213451593261063Permalink Look on archive.org

thinking about the in-office skew of a lot of articles, and how that reflects how a lot of reporting implicitly is for an audience of capital vs labourPermalink Look on archive.org

and now the Tories are trying to turn it into a culture war issue! or maybe they're just wanting to find a reason to bash the civil service. or both!Permalink Look on archive.org
