Kind of. The positions I take were obviously already remote so anyone wanting/willing to work remotely could have applied as well. Being remote had nothing to do with the current pandemic.
Also if someone dislikes working remotely they won’t look for such jobs in the future.
Of course there are those that never really thought about it as an option that are new to this crazy new world but I welcome them all.
The more the better in my opinion as it normalises the whole idea which many seem to be very against.
Obviously I am biased towards remote work due to the life changing effect it had for me.
I was never happy in an office every day. Sometimes was fine but not every day for no good reason.
I get back two days of time a month just from time saved commuting. That’s 24 days a year saved.
I think we are collectively underestimating the number of people who never really thought of remote work as an option. But I also hope to be proven wrong here.
It also makes sense that although you may be biased towards remote work, you wouldn't feel particularly threatened. The people most affected by this are those just starting their careers, who wouldn't have the resume to be very picky about the nature of the remote work available to them.
