Airbnb Had its Most Productive Two-Year Period
The Talent Pool is Expanding Due to Remote Work
Chesky said his company’s “Careers” page received a huge boost when he announced the new remote policy. The CEO himself said he’s spending his time between various Airbnb locations in the US. “My prediction is three days a week becomes two days a week, and two days a week becomes one day a week, and pretty soon are you really in a hybrid world, or are you mostly a remote world?”
Chesky did say that there would be some need for an office situation under various scenarios. “People will still go to offices, but it’ll be for different purposes, for collaboration spaces,” he said. “People don’t realize this two, three days a week thing is not super sustainable.
He also claimed that the hybrid model of three days in the office and two remote was flawed, a practice tech firms Apple and Google are trying. Airbnb is having its employees meet in-person one week per quarter. “My prediction is three days a week becomes two days a week, and two days a week becomes one day a week, and pretty soon are you really in a hybrid world, or are you mostly a remote world?”
