When the Covid pandemic hit, not a lot changed in my life, except the house got a lot louder and smaller when my wife and kids began WFH. I’d worked from home for close to 10 years by that point, working for my own companies or startups in NYC and SF. So while a lot of people were learning how to work from home, I was just annoyed that this revelation was such big news to them when I had embraced it and flourished 10 years earlier.
So not to make more of this issue all about me, but it is still shocking that some companies are still slow to embrace WFH and are in a rush to get everyone back into the office.
One company that’s been in the news a lot lately, and some could go as far as to say they are powering the AI revolution, is very happy to let staff keep WFH. That company is Nvidia, who makes high-powered chips used for AI trailblazers like ChatGPT and Bard.
They do have a return-to-office policy, but it’s not strictly enforced, and CEO Jensen Huang, who’s worth $40 billion, is “perfectly comfortable” with staff working from home.
So if a company powering the AI revolution is fine with WFT, why are other tech companies like Meta and Google in such a rush to get all their employees back in the office?!?!
