All of them plan to cut it by atleast 50% and as much as 70%
I spoke to 5 global enterprises about remote work last week
Here’s what they told me about their plans for the future
[ a thread ] 💻🏠🌎
All of them plan to cut it by atleast 50% and as much as 70%
Rather than hiring the best person in a 30-mile radius of the office, they’ll hire the best person on the planet
It’s increased. They now know remote work works
Each company plans to let people work from home 60-100% of the time
Designing in person time to maximise value and social connection
Measuring this is a big problem most are still searching for ways to solve
Some will begin ordering time off on a monthly/quarterly basis to combat this
The assumption already is that they won’t respond in 2021
They know they have to if they want to attract the best talent
A large proportion no longer live close enough to commute regularly
Where physical relationships existed prior the quality is unaffected
They see a challenge where people have never met teams
That change in culture has led to more creativity and better communication in several companies
Big issue as companies lean into remote work more
They need to do something to combat this rapidly
It’s been a huge focus in recent years while working onsite. Most companies are interested in ways to do this remotely
Empathetic leaders are thriving. The importance of checking in on your team the most important skill
This will grow over time rather than leaving when an employee leaves

This is a GREAT argument to pull up when talking to people about minimum wage. Some others nested below
A large number of new jobs being created are minimum to low wage, so looking for a new job generally won’t increase pay.
Raising minimum wage helps things not directly related.
Helps Infant mortality? Yup.
Lowers Suicide? Yup.
Reduce smoking rates? You bet.
It also boosts the local economy! Minimum to low wage earners spend more % of their money, so an increase means more is spent, often in community!
Low paying jobs are often in sectors which would gain from this. More people spending money in your shop makes your business more money! Now you have more profits and increased labor costs are covered.

In reality, you're paying for it. Over 50% of people on food stamps are actively working. The leading employers are Walmart, McDonald's and Amazon.
As taxpayers, you're subsidizing corporations to pay literal poverty wages.
