Twitter Will Allow Employees To Work At Home Forever

Two months into working from home, Twitter makes it permanent for some.

Interesting! Wonder how many more companies will follow. Could it spell the end of expensive tech hubs?

I think it's fantastic. There's no good reason to make people come into an office in this day and age.

This is something I hope sticks after all this.

Especially with a field like ours, offices are obsolete. And for people with disabilities/are chronically ill, remote working is essential. It's ridiculous that this hasn't been normalized before now.

It just makes financial sense. Plus it makes the jobs more attractive to a certain kind of developer.

Working from home for more than a month had a huge impact on me. I saved lots of money because I didn't have to commute or eat out for lunch. It also made the physical problems I had disappear (for the time that I worked from home, they returned immediately 2 days before I had to work in the office again). I've been feeling more relaxed, had less stress and overall felt better. I also didn't have the general "prepare and run" feeling when I was at home that I normally get when I have to leave my flat or interact with other people 😅
