IMO, this is where many of the top tech companies will struggle.

I work at a big tech company, and we've been bleeding talent over the last 18 months. Many senior and principal engineers have left to do their own thing, usually working on their own thing or for a startup. Many of those that were laid off have probably done the same, where there are opportunities. In the next few years, we'll see new tech take over, and many big companies becoming poorly-run dinosaurs - basically becoming the IBM's of the world...

Good.

My employer decided to embrace WFH from the top down. They are not renewing leases for sales spaces (easiest since they are not tied to labs) and are slowly crunching down to only what need to be in person - R&D and the guys that go out in the field. They do need large warehouse space for multiple 18 wheeler trucks and all the equipment.

Right now we do the stupid hybrid thing, but I just accept it because it’s one day a week and my boss^2 buys us all lunch. He is a really smart Boomer that is lonely and also helps us solve a lot of engineering issues so it is what it is.
