Companies going full remote seems to be the in thing right now. However, it's not without it's pitfalls. There are lots of things to consider. For starters, how is vacation time handled? I know that on the surface, the answer is "just like it was before. If someone takes a vacation or sick day, they simply don't login that day". But is it THAT simple? And, how is employee productivity really tracked? . Plus...can the whole world really put everything online? Eventually, someone somewhere will say "yeah... there's a reason we were operating out of an office". I don't see the remote workforce thing lasting forever. I know that Google just decided that there would be nobody returning to the offices until 2022. That's a bit extreme, IMO. But at least they are planning on reopening, albeit a very long time from now.
