The tech company blew up as one of the main means of communication for people forced to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I guess this could just as easily be posted in an anti-work community

    I can’t think of a worse marketing strategy for a company that relies on remote work to remain relevant. This would be like if General Motors forced every employee within 50 miles of an assembly plant to ride a bike to work.

        IKEA now only buy from furniture row.

        Boeing ban employees from taking aircraft, citing safety concerns with their aircraft.

        USPS require all packages be delivered by courier - I can actually see that one happening

        Atlassian and Salseforce could shift their internal help desks to in-person only with 100% paper records.

        That would probably be an improvement for Salesforce. I truly hate their software. It’s god awful.

      I don’t think that Zoom specifically advocates for companies to end work in the office.

      Like, say you work for Coca-Cola. Their company health plan probably does not encourage people to drink nothing but Coca-Cola, even if they do make it available in the office.
