Can't tell if this affects Github employees as well? I was under impression that they don't actually have offices to “return to”.

- aaronbrethorst 1y agoI assume that any GitHub employee within 50 miles of a Microsoft office will be expected to commute.
- simanyay 1y agoWould they have space? Considering that Github was always remote, that's a lot of people to fit into existing space. Though I guess it depends on how many Github employees are within 50 miles of Redmond.
- ghaff 1y agoAnd, in my experience, a 50 mile commute into a big city isn't really sustainable--and that was with a fair bit of travel, etc. mixed in so I wasn't going in every day and pretty accessible commuter rail service if I was going in 8-5 or thereabouts.
- bryanlarsen 1y agoGiven that all GitHub teams are remote, the chance of having a team member at the same office is approximately 0. What's the point of commuting if you're not co-located with team members?
- Rohansi 1y agoThis does not stop every company from RTO mandates. My wife's employer is approaching full RTO and literally none of her team would go to the same office as her. And she was remote before COVID.
- aaronbrethorst 1y agoI think you’re trying to logic a situation that is not logical.
- bryanlarsen 1y agoYes, question was rhetorical.
- bilal4hmed 1y agoGithub is exempt and will be remote first
- veryfancy 1y agoHubber here. This didn’t affect us.
