Facebook Says It Will Expand Remote Work to All Employeeshttps://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/COS-INDUSTRIES-INTERNET-NORTHAM/2021/06/09/id/1024545/Facebook Inc. said it will let all employees work remotely even after the pandemic if their jobs can be done out of an office, but may reduce their pay if they move to a less-expensive area.
Starting June 15, any Facebook employee can request to work from home, the Menlo Park, California-based company said Wednesday in a statement. If those employees move to a lower-cost region, their salaries will be adjusted accordingly and they will be encouraged to go into the office at times to enhance team building.
Facebook said it will be more flexible for employees expected to return to the office. “Guidance is to be in the office at least half the time,” the company said. Facebook also plans to open most of its U.S. offices to at least 50% capacity by early September and reopen fully in October. Until the end of 2021, employees can work as many as 20 business days from another location away from their home area, the company said.
Much/most of the time, work with mushware is not location dependent, as long as one has an adequate computer and network, plus necessary access and permissions. For several years pre-Covid the Menlo Park FB campus was so over-populated that many employees who arrived too late were sent home to work there. That is not due to the campus being tiny. So a work-at-home culture would not be entirely foreign to FB.
