companies: "we can't find good help!"

also companies: "we don't answer applications promptly, don't understand our own requirements, don't want remote, don't..."

*continuing on ur rant*

....and you shouldn't ask for a good compensation, you should work weekends, be here on time and leave late nights and should be thankful that we give you the opportunity to do that.

No remote? Can companies even afford that? I’d let go of an offer that pays an extra 20% if it didn’t allow remote. Commute is just shit.

@ars1 > "No remote? Can companies even afford that?"

This year, we've lost 2 DBAs and four developers because our lack of a real work-from-home/remote policy and not being competitive with remote companies (either 100% or hybrid WFH). Right now, we can WFH, but required to submit a request (stating why you feel you need to WFH) and our VP must approve.

As you can probably guess, unless the situation is extraordinary, nobody around here WFH much.

@ars1 it's shit and actively harmful in many cases
