[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work with one of the FANG companies, and they still want FTE to be located within a couple of hours of the department location. So even if you get to WFH, they want you at least in the same state, or within a couple of hours from that dept.  location. So, it's not like they would be fine with you live in SD and working for a department located in NY or MV.  Maybe if you are a superstar engineer, but there are only a handful of such people. For the rest of the employees, they don't want them that far away.[/quote]

I've never heard any of the FANGs use the term "department" for any tech org and even if it were just semantics, there are hundreds of examples in each company of distributed engineering teams (sometimes remote wfh, sometimes distributed between offices in the US).[/quote]

You have to have a physical office in the even that there is a cyber attack on the VPN access layer, you need a place where you can access resources securely. [/quote]
Do you spout this nonsense everyday or is today an exception?

You don't know jack shit about cyber attacks, or VPN (did you just make up the phrase "access layer"?) or security.[/quote]

Offices can be connected via leased direct lines and this represent a WAN structure. All of your users WFH are using public internet with a VPN network layer, and if that public internet facing layer is compromised you want to be able to circle the wagons. It’s one thing to have your websit DDOS another for someone to gain access to your Git repository.

I’m not a cyber security expert, but did study networking, and I work on our companies coop plans and we have backup facilities for a reason.  Having a fully virtualized distributed workforce opens up this risk.

I guess you can pay to run everything on AWS and let them carry the risk, but that burns $$$[/quote]
Lemme give you a hint. That's not how it works.

Even in a company the size of Google, the number of people who need to touch the [i]core[/i] infrastructure (whether onsite or offsite) is less than 5. Ask me how I know. These 5 people have private jets (paid by the company) at their beck and call (if needed), in case of an intrusion. The number of people worldwide who actually understand cyberattacks and how to stop them is most likely less than 100. These are the people employed by the state actors, Fortune 10 and the likes. They are very very coveted and literally have a blank check.

From a real estate perspective, this has zero impact. Those few people can live anywhere, can [i]afford[/i] to live anywhere, and institutions fall over themselves to pay for their living. (Think Tony Mansions, in some of the most expensive zip codes worldwide).

The rest? They are just fodder.   [/quote]
