Facebook | Firm tells workers they can WFH post-pandemic

Social media giant Facebook has announced that a significant proportion of its employees will be permitted to work remotely indefinitely, if they choose to – the BBC reported.

Despite many companies touting a hybrid model – which consists of splitting time between the office and at home – the social media behemoth recently told the BBC that it believes remote working is ‘the future’.

The company this week informed workers that those in eligible roles would be able to apply for permanent remote working at the discretion of their manager.

Facebook was one of the first major firms to endorse the concept of semi-permanent remote working when the coronavirus hit last year, hinting early on that it was unlikely to be rescinded post-pandemic.
