[quote=Coronita]Well anecdotal story… I have a friend who works at a small biotech company. She’s on the administrative staff and they and support were all told to go back to the office starting next week…
However all the scientists and researchers…They are allowed to work remotely indefinitely.
Now this might seem a bit unfair, because it is. But you know why the company did this, right?
The company views the administrative staff as easily replaceable so they get treated like crap. And their philosophy is well if you quit go ahead we’ll just find a replacement.
However, when it comes to the scientist and engineers. It seems like they don’t want to fvck with them, because I guess if they said the same thing, the scientist and engineers would just walk across the street to a competitor.

Yep. Also, for every 1 big company that make their employee goes back to work, there are a few not as big that are going fully remote. Here are some:
Stripe, Shopify, Twilio, Jobot, CloudApp, Slack, Meta, SalesForce etc.
Even Amazon is still advertising for remote positions on LinkedIn.
Also, good luck to the companies who try to tell their engineers to go back to the office after they have already moved. I doubt they’ll fire them lol.
