[QUOTE="trekrok, post: 4155019, member: 6668"] Most of the people in our biz have worked remotely for years, so covid really didn't change the model much. Remote works for some and not for some. Got to have the right people doing the jobs, and it really helps if the job offers easy to measure success/failure. And benchmarking to peers. I mean, if a remote guy sells 2x the widgets of his inhouse peers, he can probably convince me easy enough that he should be able to work remotely if he wants to. If what I care about is # of widgets sold, # of lines coded, # of whatever completed, I don't care how it's accomplished, generally. I see issues with the remote manager/exec type more than the people doing the work. They can appear to be doing 'ok' for quite a while just based on the work being done by their people. And the 'team' environment is tough to pull off imo, zoom and slack just aren't the same. Then you've got unfairness to the guys who have jobs that can't be done remotely. That remote flexibility is worth something, so if it's not an option, seems like some concession would make sense from a morale standpoint. I wonder if companies should look at some sort of flexibility pay to compensate those that have to be in the office or plant to get the job done vs peers who might have a work from home option.
