[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More than one of my friends are in software engineering management roles over there. They have been complaining about productivity issues related to people not being in person for a while now. Real product development that is of any quality isn’t done completely siloed. Sole exceptions for things like Linux kernel development, where distributed teams of people who are highly interested get the work done, and they are all afraid of Linus calling them out anyways.[/quote]

My husband complains that it’s because half the people are idiots. Doesn’t have much to do with RTO.

However, it is going to affect the good people who were hired remote, then told they had to come in 3 days a week and are doing crazy commutes from hours away and now will either have to move or lose their  jobs.

We had to get an apartment and spend a lot of money so he can go in 3 days a week or drive 2 days each way 3 days a week. He’s been looking for something else for over a year and a half now but at his level it’s not easy. Now maybe we just sell our house except the COL is crazy higher in Arlington. [/quote]

If your husband is senior level at Amazon, you can afford a house in Arlington [/quote]

L6. We have a child who just graduated and aging parents who won’t move. House is worth 700,000-750,000. We bought it a long time ago for a lot less but have also made a lot of improvements so it’s not paid off. Comparable houses in the Arlington area at like 1.5-2 million. We considered and looked but were disappointed with the quality of life difference. [/quote]
