Re: Got the back-to-the-office email

About a month ago, I got a headhunting inquiry via LinkedIn from a company wanting me to move. I sent a polite, nah. Two weeks later, they came back saying "hey, it's remote now with a commitment to fly in parodically." I said ok, let's talk and sent a resume. Having heard nothing, I asked about it yesterday, and got a "we've pulled the job because we're trying to figure this out, but please don't go anywhere."

I think a lot of companies are going to be going through a version of this in the next few months/years. I'm absolutely keeping this in mind if my work is insistent on full time back in the office.

And I think any contractor thinking about building houses going forward absolutely needs to consider working spaces in anything they build.
