I hate to be a stickler, but companies have been variously pursuing and backing off from full time work from home initiatives for decades at this point. I’m sure this news is revolutionary more because it concerns the tech industry and potentially Silicon Valley, rather than because the idea of pursuing a full time WFH workforce is revolutionary. I worked for a few years at an international company you might have heard of that that was pursuing a full time work from home 🏡 initiative back in 2010-2012. Guess what, they have pulled back from that model now.

There are reasons it can work and reasons it doesn’t work.

However, I’m always glad to read of another industry that at least approaches and considers full time WFH as a potential option — even though I dislike the practice intensely myself!
