Cue to the horde of new startups that will be 100% remote and eat Zuckerberg's lunch. Remote will be the new open space, with all the buzz words, feel good stories and even the blind eye towards its obvious defects.

Seriously, everything is documented, you can grow without worrying about floor space, you get access to a larger pool of talent, you are probably imagining more.

Current managers may not like it, but hey it is okay to be old, leave it to the young to innovate.

They dont have to buy $30 a day worth of food/snacks. No foosball table maintenance costs. Air conditioning/heat on and on it goes.

Working remote for less money is probably a fools game once you consider the cost of your home office and lost perks.

Companies know this and are playing it smart by saying it's a benefit and therefore should pay _less_
