Reply to comment by Acceptable_Repeat908 in Tech layoffs keep mounting - any data showing layoffs are disproportionately fully remote employees or employees in satellite offices? by Dismal_Clothes5384

Interesting. Definitely a possibility that if they can’t offer similar TCs they’ll make up for it in other ways.

Greatly reduced stress while still having healthcare and 401ks and HSAs, far less money, but working remote and in a position in the company where it is assumed you will be offering technical expertise and work but also leadership and management.

It's also a good way for tech folks to move into management if they have the desire and interest and social capability.

Similar stuff happened in 08, and in 2000. (I'm old, I was there)

That's hiring 101. You offer benefits to make up for lack of high pay. Remote work, "unlimited" PTO, generous maternity/paternity leave. Really whatever you have to offer. Not knowing that strongly suggests a lack of experience in corporate hiring and business processes, raising questions about how you came to your hypothesis in the first place. Is this maybe more of a shower thought than a genuine expectation of data?

I've been remote since 2011. It's always been the case that non-SV/Big tech companies offer generous benefits to tempt people away from the more competitive, higher stress, higher demand jobs.

I get the impression he's younger FAANG that moved out or looked to move out of the bay area and is now worried.
