I imagine most folks who end up permanent wfh are in programming or something. Maybe some finance and HR functions too. I'm not sure how it will work but I don't think it will be easy to just outsource. But it will be interesting to see what happens with salaries for those permanent WFH folks and when they hire for those roles nationally.

What is your hypothesis regarding whether those salaries will go up/down/same?

facebook, for example, is adjusting salary based on where the people actually live. And I actually know a FB employee planning to move to KS from here so I'm guessing the adjustment isn't terrible. And I'd guess most companies in the area copy or are less generous than facebook.

I'm also wondering about onboarding when you are hiring someone 100% remote to mix with folks that were 100% in the office not that long ago. We've done it but not anyone I've worked closely with.

Melanie is still sick
https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1318595345522200576

Calling her Melanie is the same as mispronouncing Kamala.
True, but could have been a phone autocorrect

Absolutely.

Well it absolutely wasn't. What's hilarious about this is you actually think calling that woman Melanie is the same as this

You would think but not quite yet. Condos seem to be going down but anything with two of more bedrooms and a yard continues to be crazy.

Depending on the company/job it’s Dev/Engineer for job title, just as an FYI. We have a pretty large off shore team but because we have sensitive customer data you have to physically be in the US to access, which secures my job.

I have a pretty unique role at work(especially for a larger company) where I have elevated permissions for stuff, but I also develop new features, which could create a conflict of interest.

We have pretty siloed positions, but mine is kind of a hybrid so the pay scale is almost unlimited because of the responsibility range. Since we will probably be WFH going forward even after the pandemic I’m not sure what I want to do. Our corporate headquarters is in KC and we haven’t changed anything for location of worker yet. Will be interesting.

My sister in law is some kind of financial tech analyst. Moved from Chicago to kc and was on the same salary. Worked remote for a few years and ended up taking a kc job for less money because Chicago wanted her to travel all the time.

Instead of the lower paycheck in kc she just became an independent “consultant” and got the Chicago job back for more money but sans health care.

I wonder if facebooky types will do the same

I don't understand how a nursing home manages to get every last  resident infected. Maybe no rapid testing or multiple infected asymptomatic staff?

Similarly sized Euro countries adding new cases in the thousands, approaching or exceeding 10's of thousands in one case.

 Sweden, still less than 1K new cases a day.   Mortality still flat lined.

Can you give us 50-100 words on your thoughts on why Sweden is showing the numbers they are?  I'm interested in why you keep bringing them up.

Oh hey Phil, there hasn't been any questioning of the "too many people" died relative to the precept that nobody wants to see anybody die (well. except for BidenVoters hoping Trump would die, but I digress).    Nice cherry picking BTW.

Even a CoronaBro Drama Queen like you understands that when one Euro country  with a similar population as Sweden is recording daily records of new RONA cases numbering at or near the tens of thousands.     While Sweden continues to record sub 1000 new daily cases and single digit daily mortality.  A rate/number that has remained flatlined for months.   Then that's worthy of some discussion, is it not?

Core EU/FEU countries with a combined population similar to the United States-Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, UK  and Spain combined for:

UK: 21,330 (second highest number to date)
France:  20,468
Spain: 13,873
Italy:  10,871  (second highest number to date)
Belgium: 8,227
Germany: 6,868 (second highest number to date)

81,637 new Covid-19 cases yesterday

Pretty sure Sweden became more restrictive than most of Western Europe sometime this summer - AFAIK they always limited the 50-person limit and kept high schools and universities virtual.

This appears to be a foreign language ran through a 1990's generation translator.  Goodness it makes zero sense, there are like 8 spaces between sentences, odd extra spaces within sentences, fragments.   :blindfold:

Not the least bit surprising that the boards biggest CoronaBro Drama Queen is also the most anal.

You're bothered by the Sweden discussion because unlike you and your ilk.  They didn't have a complete meltdown about the RONA.   The early death rate is a favorite topic of CoronaBros who are now enraged that Sweden appears to have made it through to the end of the first wave.   While now avoiding the 2nd (or 3rd) wave, at least so far.   While the rest of the E "they're so much better than us, we should do it like they do it" U is (once again) a roiling cauldron of SARS-Covid-19 with seemingly no end in sight.  Outside of economy killing draconian lockdown re-instatement.  Which has been proven to have solved nothing but delaying the inevitable.
