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.

Agree with that, however we need to balance that increased teamwork with - access to wider labor pool - access to cheaper labor pool Outsourced foreign labor, to me, is the elephant in the room. That’s a good option for many businesses.

Mmm, some friends have outsourced to Argentina and Brasil from NYC quite successfully. If you can get in similar time zones it seems like a great option. I've always felt working 8-12 hours apart made workflows clunky. Then again many co's do it quite well. Learned skill I guess.
