Aside from FAANG, there's no evidence this trend is picking up.

In fact, I bet all the people that got laid off recently will be happily hired by remote first companies very quickly.

You mean all of the “remote first” companies that are profitable and not struggling?

Most employment is from small businesses, by the numbers. Most small businesses are struggling-to-fragile at best as most fail. The "not paying for office space is a sizable plus" contingent alone would give a substantial number of WFH jobs Counterintuitively there are loads of jobs from the companies who are struggling.

And how many employees at Dell would risk working for a small struggling employee in this market? Would that small employee pay as much?

This is my third time seeing this type of job market (2000, 2008 being the other two). This is the time where there is a “flight to quality”.

The laid off ones.

In that case, they by definition aren’t “employees at Dell”.

No, I don't mean that.
