In the era of the everywhere constant connectivity and communication, what is the best business structure for companies whose work can be done remotely? A. Hire everyone in same city. Make them come in every day B. Hire everyone in same city, have them come in 2 days/week

C. Hire anywhere, twice a year hold a meeting for all employees Some negatives to remote work: - Working at home is psychologically difficult - No boss looking over shoulder motivation - Weak sense of team - Possibly more distractions

Some positives to remote work: - Possibly fewer distractions - No commute - More relaxing - More convenient (no need to go out for lunch or bring one)

Also, I forgot to mention that remote is seen as low status. This may change as it becomes more popular, but it feels like it won’t.

Based on gut I feel like B in 2nd/3rd/4th tier cities is going to become very popular in coming years. Then again, what do I know

I’m not sure 4th tier cities can sustain much of anything but that’s a non-sequitur. What’s your gut say about this? https://twitter.com/ericrichards22/status/1223484011697311744?s=21 …https://twitter.com/EricRichards22/status/1223484011697311744 …

Yeah, maybe scratch 4th tier. I think B has legs because it optimizes for employee quality of life. They can have real camaraderie, decent purchasing power, and flexible lifestyle. With D I think the camaraderie is hard to build. But I'm sure it's possible.
