Yes, anyone can apply. But no, not all orgs will accept a remote application.

And if your org says no, there aren’t that many internal remote options yet. And some orgs will say no to remote transferees for the first N months or a year.

So it’s better than before, but some orgs are still stuck in no-remote, and for many a departure is the way to go remote.

Very few of the eng orgs have policies against remote work. Even TI supports it, despite whinging over Urs' statements. I'm also not aware of any manager who'd reject an internal xfer who had a record of good performance for remote work.

Would I like to see more to support remote work? Yes. It feels ridiculous to me that the folks in Sales don't have the same options. But from the actual data collected most people in a position to work remotely have access to it.
