Companies With Flexible Remote Work Policies Outperform On Revenue Growth::According to a new report, companies with flexible remote work policies outperform firms with more restrictive policies when it comes to revenue growth rates.
I love this news and all but let’s remember that Forbes is a hot garbage web magazine that is perpetuating a lot of the corporate narrative about how wfh is dying and how businesses need to bring people back because “culture”.
I think they are trying to play both sides of the issue to keep those juicy clicks rolling into their site.
Office culture, in my eyes, has about as much actual culture as a freshly sterilized petri dish.
Not surprised, I’ve seen a lot of people say they are willing to work for less if they can work from home. Those who support WFH will get the best talent cheaper.
I had a recruiter after me hard one time. They had a company they were trying to grow and had already plucked away a couple of guys from my team.
He offered what he thought was an aggressive offer based on what the other guys said they were making.
I asked about WFH, he said the company preferred people in the office to collaborate. This was my third time asking this, the first two times I told him this was a non-starter, and this offer was to try to go above and beyond that to sway me with dollar signs.
I laid out the costs that were involved: commuting, car, gas, childcare, lunch, etc. and how his aggressive offer still had me coming up behind, and that’s before I even take into account time and comfort lost.
He’s called back again twice, and it’s the same freaking question, “any movement on work from home?”
We all know the answer.

Work from home is the future for businesses that 100% operate out of an office, and are basically only an office.
Why pay for a centralized building? Pay for upkeep? Pay taxes for the building?
Especially when the WFH model makes more money? Well, to the wealthy few they realize the soul-crushing work in-person model maintains their class status. This could upset their class structure, and they’re terrified of it.
But in a beautiful twist of fate for once, the legal decision to make growth the #1 goal of publicly traded companies is working against the class that instated them.
I’m popping a bottle of discounter champange when the ‘office-building-crisis’ starts
14% increase in productivity going from at will part time remote work (meaning many were full time at the office) to obligatory full time remote work for everyone. That means full time remote work is even better than flexible or whatever other hybrid bullshit employers try to impose on their employees.
Watch everyone forget that correlation doesn’t equal causation when it confirms their biases.
It’ll end up being something also to do with managers of places that permit wfh being more relaxed than in places that prevent it.
