Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, who recently announced employees can work from home forever, calls the office an 'anachronistic form' and 'from a pre-digital age'
with no pay cut, citing the ability to widen its talent pool and noting the company had its most productive two-year period ever while working remotely.
"I think that the office as we know it, is over," he told Time."We can't try to hold on to 2019 any more than 1950. We have to move forward." He continued:"If the office didn't exist, I like to ask, would we invent it? And if we invented it, what would it be invented for? Obviously, people are going to still go to hospitals and work, people are going to still go to coffee shops and work — those spaces make complete sense.
