uhh lol, just because you own an iPhone doesn't mean you get all the features like Apple Music, etc.

I can think of a ton of examples where what you're saying is nonsensical.

This.

Companies which have offices will out-compete the rate of innovation for remote only.

Marissa Mayer, coming from Google, the first thing she did when she took the helm at Yahoo was reverse the WFH policy because execs realized it was a huge productivity loss.

Employee salaries are by FAR the largest expense for these companies.

Office rent is nothing in comparison.

Companies will make decisions based on employee productivity, which IMO, means having people in an office.

I don't buy the "cost savings" narrative.

By a long shot, the largest expense for large companies in employee salaries - rent, by comparison, is a drop in the bucket. What follows is that companies should be most concerned about employee and team productivity rather then office expenses.

and tons of engineers... whats your point?
Re:A follow up to Coinbase being a mission focused company on Thursday October 08, 2020 @03:41PM (#24723000)
same. I don't even think the severance is necessary.

Just ask people who are interested in politics in the workplace to leave.

Quite possible this could blacklist you from many other companies.
Re:Ask HN: Anyone else miss spontaneous conversations at work? on Saturday October 03, 2020 @10:50AM (#24672401)
yep, i'm ready go back to the office. This WFH stuff isn't all that it was hyped up to be and from talking to my co-workers, I'm not alone.

I don't think I'd ever work for a company that doesn't have significant in person/office presence.

Not true. Contractors, by law, have the ability to work when/how they want including for multiple clients.

If there is something specific in the contract, it is a civil issue.
