    Anyone within 50 miles of the HQ. Fuck me if I had to travel 50+50 miles (or 80+80 km) every fucking day to/from work. Even “only” 3 days a week would be awful

    So damn stupid. So they laid people off recently right? They say they are not doing this to decrease their workforce, but I have to wonder.

    Also, how many of these “teams” will be returning to the office only to have to work with other teams that are not in their office anyways? Seems like that happens more often than not in global organizations. Anyone know how centralized Microsoft work groups are?

    The last person I knew who worked at microsoft was back in the old balmer days who got hired to do nothing to kill a open source project. They put a bar in their office and drank themselves to death. Paid well though.

    Edit: Coleman says the data is in. Really? Nearly every study I have seen says the opposite. Remote work increases productivity. At the very least it reduces stress makes most people happier. So show me the data Coleman.

    Maybe is was because they are forced to use Microsoft Teams and Microsoft products. That would make anyone unproductive.
