“In our always-on, always-connected world, it no longer makes sense to expect employees to work an eight-hour shift and do their jobs successfully. Whether you have a global team to manage across time zones, a project-based role that is busier or slower depending on the season, or simply have to balance personal and professional obligations throughout the day, workers need flexibility to be successful.” And with that, Brent Hyder, Salesforce’s chief people officer, made the work from home era a little more permanent. Salesforce declares the 9-to-5 workday dead, will let some employees work remotely from now on. “An immersive workspace is no longer limited to a desk in our Towers; the 9-to-5 workday is dead; and the employee experience is about more than ping-pong tables and snacks.” (I’m not even sure the life experience is about more than that.)

+ Axios: “Salesforce said most employees will work from the office only one to three days a week, while some will work fully remotely. It now foresees that only the smallest share of its workforce will come to an office each day.” (For me, it’s less about getting back to an office and more about getting the hell out of the house.)
