So much noise and fud about remote work going on.

Meanwhile most of the job postings I see are saying "remote" if it can be. Seems like common sense budgets are winning this battle.

There's a trend of companies requiring workers to show up at the office for two or three days a week. It's a real thing; my office requires three days for people that live in the area. Several friends of mine are seeing similar policies at their offices.

Some people just aren't productive at home. That's why our office set the new policy. We didn't want to lose good talent. Fortunately for me I live 100 miles away and work fine from home.

The ads for remote work are generally trying to hire experts that would otherwise be unwilling to move.
