    My company currently has a 100% telework option, even allowing living wherever the hell you want. They’ve found a direct correlation between how many days people come in the office and how long people stay at the company before leaving. They’ve also found an absolutely huge disparity between the attrition rate of people hired before and after COVID. Since my company’s entire purpose is to be the repository of scientific knowledge for the Air/Space Force, keeping people around is key to our success.

    That said, I think it might be an overcorrection that could be better addressed with better mentoring and social integration of remote workers, but we don’t have time to figure out new ways of doing business if people keep leaving before we figure it out.

    • I work for a similar company. It’s been remote only for years because they realize that a larger talent pool is better. Most people have also been here for over a decade at this point.

      They only have a B&M office because the executive assistant doesn’t want to work from home.
