Granted, that's a drop in the bucket compared to labor costs, so there's a valid debate about productivity, but that's complex enough that no one REALLY knows the optional approach. But our turnover is super low, and all our financial metrics are still right where we want them to be. (And you can bet we're interviewing ex-Twitter folks - we need all the engineers we can find right now.)
Our CEO has declared us a "distributed" company at this point. We have an office for team meetings and such, but otherwise there's no expectation for anyone to go in. She also joked that she'll fire anyone caught sleeping in the office. 
Like I said, I don't disagree that there's room for discussion about the optimal approach, but there's zero question that I'll stick with this place longer since I can work from anywhere. |
Your CEO sounds awesome and she appears to actually care about her employees. I would stay there too.
I work for a "healthcare" company and we do alot of behavioral health. We have had our best years financially during the pandemic and people working from home.
We started to see this trend a few years prior to Covid where it was getting tougher to hire psychiatrists and have them work in the office but Covid accelerated that and now all of our psychiatrists work remotely and do telemedicine exclusively. They also use Teams religiously. We have been doing telemed for a decade + but nothing like we do now where it is almost exclusively all telemed.
With the WFH change we have been able to utilize our office space and expand our services into other areas like dental and primary care. Been a windfall.
