If you're looking for an explanation of what's happening at Google with the current layoffs, just watch this video. Steve Jobs' reflections about what happened at Apple provide the best explanation. It's something you'll encounter in all corporate companies.

Unfortunately I think the „remote work“ and „work from home“ culture contributed a lot to it. It made it totally acceptable to work with people that you won’t meet anyway in reality.

If you're job can be done from home, it can also be done from India.

Thats the reallity we are living now.

If people were compensated for their commutes, if people weren't treated like cattle in offices, if management gave any fucks about employee morale / comfort, remote work wouldn't be the appealing option it is. I can work in my private, quiet, clean office at home; or in a noise-filled, "open floor plan", desk hoteling situation at the work campus. That's after a 30 minute commute through rush hour city traffic.

I think the shift from office-working to home-working has nothing to do with anything, it is just the end of The Modern Era. When there is no steam engine, why should we move over the town to work somewhere else than home? It is not because the office work is not compensated, but because there is no reason to go there.

And yes, we need bigger homes.

Read Alvin Toffler “The Third Wave” (yes, it is an ancient book).

@mcepl @GrayGooGirl @obrhoff blaming layoffs on wfh is just an incredible take. I think maybe the worst one I've seen yet from a (presumably) rto advocate.

EDIT: Tone policeman claims he is a WFH advocate so correction on that 'presumably'...
