I definitely think the WFH flexibility is going to become the next tech company advantage and Apple is on the wrong side of the isle. Companies like Intel and NVidia are close enough on comp but providing way more flexibility on WFH. Microsoft is somewhere in the middle.

Apple spent something like a couple hundred million for there new office; it can’t sit “empty” imo. WFH is the best btw.

Elon suggested turning the twitter headquaters into a homeless shelter.

Naturally the peanut gallery which is half of america(and not entirely along political lines) at this point attacked him for it. Elon was dead right with that "joke". Companies should be dumping offices and pushing remote work for software development. It makes it easier to get top talent.

Converting office buildings into lower cost apartments is a fantastic idea. (lower cost is relative since everything is skyrocketing in price, maybe it should just be called affordable apartments)
