Facebook will now let some employees work from anywhere, but their paychecks could get cut CEO Mark Zuckerberg said about half of the company’s employees could be working remotely in 10 years www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/05/21/facebook-permanent-remote-work/Facebook could have about 50 percent of its 45,000-person company working remotely in the next five to 10 years, chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said in a public video announcing the policy Thursday. But the social media giant will also lower paychecks to reflect cheaper costs of living in some cases, depending on location. ........ Facebook’s decision is likely to send ripples across the industry.“It’s going to have a big effect,” said Margaret O’Mara, a professor of history at the University of Washington who studies Silicon Valley. “Facebook is big, it hires a lot of people, it’s a big force of recruitment. The landscape of tech right now is so dominated by these five very big companies.” .................. |

Sounds reasonable, especially for those who could keep living in the midwestern and don't have to move into the bay area. Thanks for sharing. |

The Industrial Revolution around 1760 quickly led to urbanization.
Problems such as global warming and high housing costs come along as people keep flocking to cities throughout the world.
Now that Twitter and Facebook are allowing more employees to telecommute, chances are more high tech companies will follow suit.
Will this start a trend of reverse urbanization?
How will the world look after the pandemic?
There are so many unknowns that await us down the road.
