Same.
Same here
Is it an Australian company ?
Yes.
Lots of software companies
Name one
Atlassian, block, build kite.
There's no WFH forever option at Attlassian so I think you just spilling BS
Lol f off. Its not forever
You mean one day people will die or leave the company? Or you think the company will change the policy?
I mean once I start WFH, I'll never be asked to come into office. The only way to contact me should be using a fucking laptop and I can travel around the world without thinking to come into the office.
Digital Nomadic workers have been a thing for a time, most of then are contractors though.
There's 1000s of then on Telegram and Reddit (digitalnomads) discussing what's doing... not sure about Lemmy ?
Why only work for an Australian company if your aim is to never come to the office ?
Nah I know a few permanent WFH people at atlassian. The company makes a big deal about it so I would be surprised if it changed (this is in Aus)
I used to work for Attlassian and they dont have an option to wfh forever.
I work in software and we're permanently work from home. (I don't want to name my employer but they're a medium sized company)
You can just search for 'fully remote' on the job ad sites: https://www.seek.com.au/fully-remote-jobs
Dont think these are forever ? They might give WFH for idk may be 6 months and then will say their policy changed.
Well you can ask them if it's fully remote forever, and then don't sign a contract unless it also states that.
Where I work went Work From Anywhere during Covid. I joined after the decision was made. They recently acquired a place in New Zealand and went about shutting down the head office to do the same over there.
They say there are no plans to get people back into an office but I wonder about that. There have been questionable business decisions up top that have affected my team and others, so I wonder if they'll start getting people back in for the sake of 'productivity'
Not in WA. We mostly sailed through the whole Covid thing business as usual. There's more work from home than there was before 2020, but I don't know any company that has all its employees remote.
My employer has a few people working from home, but it's usually because they're working for customers in different states. It's certainly not normal and not assured to always be remote.
