Meta calls back employees to work from office (3 days of the week). They had one of the strongest remote policies amongst FAANG.

In the post Covid era when people are actually back to flooding offices and the highways are back to being jammed 24/7 and the elevator space is being hogged by everyone who has to get off before you, is remote still preferred?

This is absolutely meme material!! They declared that 75% of employees will work from home by 2025, and before even 2025, they reverted that and now claiming everyone to come to office all 5 days!! I mean not even Hybrid, but all 5 days!! News mentioning recent report of asking employees to come all 5 days- https://m.economictimes.com/tech/information-tech/tcs-asks-employees-to-return-to-office-five-days-a-week-may-end-work-from-home-from-october/articleshow/104049381.cms

Hi folks, Looking out for remote companies with decent pay and reasonable WLB. Please reply if you know any. Decent pay = close to FAANGM equivalent TCs (including ESOPs)

He was previously the biggest proponent of WFH. But he recently said this: Our early analysis of performance data suggests that engineers who either joined Meta in-person and then transferred to remote or remained in-person performed better on average than people who joined remotely. This analysis also shows that engineers earlier in their career perform better on average when they work in-person with teammates at least three days a week Looks like most companies will kill WFH long term 🤕

How do you like the work-life balance in FAANG. Is that something special or as regular IT companies.

Hey, what is the benefit(s) that you love at your company? Something that you would like to see in all other companies that you work for.

I'm a 2023 grad but I've worked in VC/HFT/GSoC/startups I'm so fed up with the WFO culture. What do you even get by getting employees in office? What's the point? I'm an engineer, I can write code from anywhere on the planet with internet and laptop. Been looking for a role since August, while having a solid dev ex yet all these fools are WFO that reduces half the number of companies I want to work for. Any suggestions or am I being a fool?

What are some companies that are still on WFH model?

I have been on a permanent wfh role since covid. Yes, been 2+ years since I stepped into an office. I stay alone and have little expenses but also 0 social life. Friends are all spread out. Not on any dating app because its exhausting. Can someone just talk about any impacts on their personal life from work life? Does anyone here feel a void too? I’d love to connect.
