I came to post the same comment. They are going to lose their best people but it wont matter. Or their top 5% will get the ok to work remotely.

Roblox is the exact opposite of any company I would want to be involved with. It is a platform to create malformed children, a simulated dystopian hellscape.

They did carve something out for these folks:

> There will be some remote employees who are not asked to return... individuals who have niche skill sets or significant institutional knowledge (e.g., multi-disciplinary skills, deep expertise with Roblox systems, etc.).

So they are just straight-up admitting that RTO is a punishment for bad performance / inadequate skillset? They're apparently just trying to extract extra performance out of people that would rather just lay off.

No, they're trying to get them to leave without increasing their unemployment insurance rates.

[LoganDark]

So I was at least somewhat correct, they're trying to do anything but lay off the people that they no longer want.

I doubt Arseny is going to leave over this.

[nerpderp82]

No but they might lose Alan Jeffrey. Whom I'd happily hire if the stars aligned.

[LoganDark]

That'd be a loss for sure, yeah. I think they mainly work on Luau language stuff and developer experience / type inference? AFAIK Arseny works more on deep VM level stuff, or at least that's what he would talk about back when we were in contact.

left already

I checked his Twitter, Mastodon and blog. They all still say he works at Roblox, with no sign of having left. Where did you hear this information?
