Airbnb says staffers can work remotely forever, if they want
CNN
Airbnb won't require most staffers to return to the office — ever.
The company told employees Thursday that they can permanently work remotely and can relocate anywhere within the country they currently work. Doing so won't negatively impact compensation, the company said, meaning it will not adjust salaries downward if an employee opts to move to a city where the cost of living is lower.
In a lengthy email to staffers Thursday, CEO and cofounder Brian Chesky outlined its new policies and expectations. He noted that permanent flexibility will allow the company to "hire and retain the best people in the world," rather than simply those who are within "commuting radius around our offices." Airbnb said it has 6,000 employees globally, with more than 3,000 in the United States.
