That work-from-home thing is something Airbnb CEO and co-founder Brian Chesky is a big fan of. You could almost call it an obsession.
He sent out a long email to his employees telling them the new policies and expectations of the company, saying even if they choose to stay in their sweats and jammies all day working on a laptop in their kitchen, he’s cool with that, and nobody will take a pay cut or get fired.
He doesn’t care what country his employees are in either. Go to Australia, France, Costa Rica, or Thailand if you so choose. His workers never, ever have to come back and work in the office if they don’t want to.
“Starting in September, you can live and work in over 170 countries for up to 90 days a year in each location. Everyone will still need a permanent address for tax and payroll purposes, but we’re excited to give you this level of flexibility. Most companies don’t do this because of the mountain of complexities with taxes, payroll, and time zone availability, but I hope we can open-source a solution so other companies can offer this flexibility as well.”
Wow, he’s actually asking employees to have an address to get their W2s sent to at the end of the year; he might face a revolt for such harsh measures.
The company has 170,000 square feet of office space at its headquarters in San Francisco. No word on what they will do with all that space.
