Who still needs the office? U.S. companies start cutting space

At least with my own company, the approach has been pretty reasonable.

They know they're saving money in the long term on space, and they're splitting that with employees pretty fairly. $1500 up front for all existing employees and all new hires to provision a space to work remote, and a $125 a month in reimbursement for internet/phone/electricity, no questions asked.

Frankly, it's made the transition pretty positive for all parties. The company saves a ton in the long term on rental space, and employees get a nice perk.

There are still folks that would prefer not being remote, but most folks are pretty happy without a commute.

Does this mean that the you could go remote permanently? Looks like a great deal.
