A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

My last job was remote for a fortune 100 company. Large companies are 100% on board with this because it is efficient. It's only executive discretion arguing against flexible work.

Efficiency always wins in the end.

I can name a Fortune 100 bank, run by a total asshole, that does not and has never believed in remote work. Efficiency is not a factor there.

I can name a fortune 100 bank that isn't run by total asshole that does.

Feel free to name the company. In my experience, no tech companies are, nor are many of the major companies hiring software engineers (Bloomberg, JPMC, Amex, Salesforce, GS, and Capital One) are all being shitty when it comes to RTO.
