List of companies going full remote after Covid

- chrisweekly 6y agoFFWD 6 mo and it'd make more sense to publish a "List of companies NOT going full remote after Covid"
- dividedbyzero 6y agoMy current employer would lose a lot of employees if they did that. People are already super stoked for when they can finally stop doing this remote work thing and be back at the office full-time. Not all, but a lot. They'll also lose people if they go back to "remote cannot work, you cannot do part-time remote", so they'll have the option to do a little bit of remote work, but set up in a way that makes it unviable in practice (e.g. meetings spread out over the whole week and held in a way that makes remote participation impossible)
- tonyaiken 6y agoFacebook is not going to be full report
- jmspring 6y agoI can second this. Had a recruiter reach out, asked if they were going to support mostly remote, the answer was no.
- hellisothers 6y agoYea the article said they’re going toward more remote work, not fully remote
- myroon5 6y agoa sortable column with number of employees would be useful as the list grows
- dtrailin 6y agoI don't think any of these companies are going "full remote". It seems like the strategy is more like, remote if you want it but there is still an office.
- gregmac 6y agoI think the likely outcome is going to simply be more mix of remote and onsite in the future. Any company that makes it through this is going to realize remote works fine. I'm sure there will be some companies that will still insist onsite-only, and they'll lose a bunch of employees who just realized they prefer remote. Regardless, what I really hope is that at the least this helps companies shift towards more remote-friendly culture and policies. Things like: every meeting has a conference link; one person remote, everyone remote; more async communications and decision making. If you do sit in a room together, have some empathy for remote people, and make sure you have high-quality video and audio, no tapping on the table or "side-conversations" while hovering over a mic, and make sure you have remote videos feeds visible and are sharing the screen you're discussing. It would be great to see a list like this amended to include how this type of thing is handled at the company as a whole (eg top-down, global policy as opposed to varying by individual teams/managers) - like a "remote-friendly" ranking scale, or maybe a "Joel test".
- toomuchtodo 6y agoCan we get an email signup for updates?
- geoffreyy 6y agoNot yet sorry, pretty busy doing other stuff but if this becomes helpful and interesting to people I will look into adding this feature! Thanks for the recommendation
- jontas 6y agoThe list says Spotify but when you click on the "Source" for that it is an article about Shopify...
- owenwil 6y agoClassic mistake, even worse for me IRL, I worked at both of these companies simultaneously! But, both are indeed going remote.
- dhruvkar 6y agoError in the list: it should be Shopify not Spotify.
- geoffreyy 6y agofixed, sorry about that.
- rdxm 6y agohow does this content make it onto the feed? this is silly s*...
- xoxoy 6y agoIf you want to remain an IC then remote is probably the best option, but if you want to climb up into a leadership role I don’t really see how you get there in a remote role. Also Facebook’s admission that salary will be tied to cost of living wherever you choose to live sets a bad precedent. Anyone who thought they could just keep their Bay Area salary is going to be disappointed, and it gives cover to every other company thinking of going remote to do the same. I’m also wondering how easy it would be to change jobs once you go remote. The benefit of being in the Bay is that the number of companies is so high that it makes it easy to interview if you’re looking for a change. While possible to interview remotely it’s much more difficult since the number of companies open to that is still small.
- Acen 6y agoGitlab pretty publicly has the same pay system in terms of living area with a direction relation to pay.
- xoxoy 6y agoTrue cost of living is such a nebulous thing to calculate no matter how meticulous the data source is.
- guessmyname 6y ago> Also Facebook’s admission that salary will be tied to cost of living wherever you choose to live sets a bad precedent […] Facebook didn’t set this precedent, GitLab did with their Salary Calculator years ago [1].

- xoxoy 6y agoI mean a big co doing it.
- avalys 6y agoI don’t get why the pay adjustment is so controversial. Facebook (and Google, and Apple, etc.) already have offices throughout the world, and they already set pay based on the local market and cost of living. Not sure why “remote work” independent of an office should be any different, or why this is surprising?

- geoffreyy 6y agoSorry guys, it was a busy day and just realized this kinda picked up, cloudflare workers reached their limit and I am now looking into a solution. In the meantime, it can be accessed via https://www.notion.so/cd2571b6bd0b434f8bf2042d5fa0d6ea https://www.notion.so/cd2571b6bd0b434f8bf2042d5fa0d6ea
- intopieces 6y agoI'm not sure it's correct to say "remote first" for Facebook. IIRC, they're just giving the option for trusted employees, not hiring straight out of college for remote.
- geoffreyy 6y agoThat's very fair, I will fix some of the copy to be more accurate.
- geoffreyy 6y agoAnd we are back, sorry I didn't expected to reach Cloudflare Workers free plan limit that fast.
- albertshin 6y agoWhat solution did you come up with? Or did you just convert to a paid plan?
- geoffreyy 6y agoI just ended up paying $5/mo to have 10M worker requests per month. Not too bad.
- mikhailfranco 6y agoIs anyone holding down multiple remote jobs at the same time? As long as you are productive, how would the employers know?
- reanimated 6y agoI don't know nothing about US law, but in Europe it's very common that in your second job legally you can work only part-time, so it's 60h weeks beetween jobs at most.
- andthekelp 6y agoPosted this three hours beforehand with the same format (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23265445 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23265445). Would've been nice to see an attributable comment, but at least some people will make use of the information.
