Facebook Remote Work Made Permanent as Offices Re-Open
Facebook on Wednesday said it will give employees the option of sticking with remote work for the long term, even offering to help some interested in moving to other countries.
Beginning on June 15, Facebook will let any employee whose job can be done remotely ask to work that way permanently, the Internet giant told AFP.
“We believe how we work is more important than where we work,” Facebook said while sharing an update to its remote work policy.
“We want to be the place where people can do the best work of their careers while ensuring a consistent experience for employees no matter where they’re located.”
Facebook and other Silicon Valley firms shifted to remote work early in the pandemic, relying on the Internet tools they create to get jobs done.
Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg has said he expects the shift to remote work to be a lasting one at the leading social network, which plans to look for employees able to do their jobs from wherever they happen to live.
