Yelp says going all in on remote work boosted job applications by 43% and led to a more satisfied workforce::The company’s WFH strategy boosted job applications and worker fulfillment.
Love that these companies are seeing the writing on the wall, finally. Only 10 years behind schedule but it’s better than never I guess.
10 years ago me and my mom worked jobs from home. I did CenturyLink (phone company) and HSN and QVC. She did dish network, directv and Eddie Bauer. It was easier then to find wfh jobs than it is now. Then it was unusual, but no stigma. Now it’s like you’re an evil clown bent on molesting the village’s sheep if you even suggest it. -_-
Now it’s like you’re an evil clown bent on molesting the village’s sheep if you even suggest it.
So that’s why no one reads my CVs? Dammit!
Yeah, the trick is to only molest them when no one is watching, and don’t put it on your resume.
“You could build a hundred bridges, but you molest one sheep…”
“And your treacherous red nose makes alarming sounds, taking everyones attention…”
Every business owner keeps complaining about how no one wants to molest sheep anymore.
Jobs that can be done from home, should be. Make life easier for the people who do have to commute
Just for the reduced co2 emissions, we should be doing wfh whenever possible. Also, fuck Hollywood for abandoning steaming release movies.
Also would save a lot on road maintenance
It’s unfortunately their business model is 100% extortionate bullshit.
Which isn’t the point of the article. I’m glad this is being reported on and hope that type of competition leads to better working conditions.
My boomer manager beg to differ. He likes it old school where people who stay back are considered more productive.
In office work lowers productivity. Boomers are a blight on everything.
That’s because they can “see” people working instead of, you know, using any actually objective metric.
Means they can falsely shoehorn in their faves as well. Kinda hard for them to pull stats out their butt when the metrics are all objectively taken from arms length
“Working”
Guess that means it’s time for RTO!
(Yes, I’m a bit salty, how could you tell?)
RTO?
Rollercoaster… Tycoon… On… line…?
Rollercoaster Tycoon Online?
We’re getting Rollercoaster Tycoon Online!?
Return To Office
Oh, well, that’s less fun.
Rollercoaster To Office
Definitely
There’s an open engine rebuild that uses assets from I think 1 and 2, and I believe it had online capabilities
Treasure.
Bath.
Treasure bath.
Treasure bath‽
I’m getting a treasure bath‽
Treasure bath!!!
My old company saw this in the first 3 months of the COVID lockdown and immediately sold their building which they’d bought less than a year before. This isn’t rocket science.
Heh, rocket surgery.
Smart they sold it early
Yep, when it still had some value. It was a great location with a view over Lake Washington near South Lake Union in Seattle too. That was during the run of a few years that the SLT was maki g good choices which ended this last year and resulted in some layoffs including myself. It was nice while it lasted lol.
While I hate the company, at least the have the self awareness to notice that fact.

Not sure if anyone is using it but let me tell you I’m going to be checking out their careers page tomorrow morning.
No. It’s awful.
And they’ve been caught with sales staff outright extorting businesses more than once (the entire model of all those sites, but if you say it out loud…)
I use it constantly. Wouldn’t say that puts you behind the curve though. 😁
My “easy-to-use internet” addicted Gen Y co-workers love it. They’re too young to know about its roots in extortion and don’t care to follow up on it.
Meanwhile, at my piece of shit job that Gen X’ers have shaken hands with the boomers in leadership and withdrew wfh for anyone who isn’t in a leadership position.
So… Leadership gets to work from home?
Yup. I had to wait for the finance clown to finish talking to his gardener before he would come back to our teams meeting so I could go home. This, after everyone being allowed to wfh for three whole years before. I wish this shit was labor suit worthy.

I definitely know everyone can’t work from home, I’ve got a couple coworkers who can’t focus there because they got kids, or a spouse who works from home and takes meetings in the one office, or they need the social interaction. But, wfh saves gas, saves money on commute, allows saving money on childcare, more flexibility with doctor and dentist appointments, and has tons of other benefits. It’s got lots of benefits, especially in cities with tons of traffic. Having it be a choice seems like the best option all around.

Study after study even before covid shows remote workers are more productive. You shouldn’t have to go in the office if your job can be remote unless it’s for a day of monthly meetings for that face to face time. If your day to day can be remote it’s better for the business and the workers to be remote.
For sure! I see a lot of value in conferences and retreats for that purpose. Personally though hybrid was so much worse than full remote. As soon as we went hybrid people just went totally dark from the rest. I would come in every few nounths and having to catch the cubical jockies up to speed on what the rest of the world was up to. Also way too much gossip in office sometimes.
Hybrid also led to a bunch of duplicate tracking of work. Jira, emails, chats, in person conversations, in person meetings, white boards, Visios, PowerPoint’s, etc all to talk to different people to say the same things.
It was also a generally dysfunctional place to work but some of it was introduce with RTO.
This should be obvious, but lemmy tells me otherwise.
Yea, lemmy’s biggeat issue is that it’s chockful of delusional kids.
The only part I disagree with is sharing such things with c suite - too much of a potential to backfire.
Dude Lemmy is full of 40+ year old nerds like me. It’s probably the oldest community on the Internet demographically.
Have you seen Facebook?
You silly kids.
