Spotify Stands Firm on 'Work from Anywhere' Policy

- Spotify remains committed to its 'work from anywhere' policy, contrasting with Amazon and Dell's push for office return. - Spotify's HR chief, Katarina Berg, argues treating employees like adults includes respecting their work location choices. - Despite collaboration challenges, Spotify has seen a 15% drop in attrition rates since implementing this policy. - Other tech companies, like Airbnb, also continue to promote remote work. - The trend towards office return, as seen with Amazon, is currently more of an outlier.

What's a D2C brand from India that you really like?

For me - Mokobara, Chaayos, Chumbak Looking to understand Indian brands that have done really well, and understand if it's the product being superior or brand/marketing being an outlier

Two simple questions

1/ an employee has got a raise in his/her current org recently and then asks for raise again to switch to a different org 2/ an employee has got a raise in his/her current org recently, gets an offer from another org and then asks for the current org to match the offer What’s your first thought? Is this justified? 90% of orgs will label them as opportunistic, money hungry & capital centric. But let’s get brutally honest here: Is the talent wrong to ask for more? We’re quick to jump to conclusions and slap on those labels. But have you ever stopped to consider their perspective? They are leveraging their value in the market. They are pushing for what they believe they’re worth. Isn’t that exactly what we teach about knowing your value and not settling? Are we really being fair when we default to calling them greedy? How many of you would really go back to hard, clear benchmarking and justify why this ask is justified? How many of you are really fighting this battle of moving a godzilla out of their position (in this case, a manager) who just says, "Nai yaar... pagal hai kya... bolo same salary pe aane ke liye... abhi to raise mila hai"? Most likely (as it is today) that this will result in a no-go from a manager or a comp approval request. And when it does - you can go all gaga on how you sold opportunity cost, how you justified the value the candidate brings to the table and all that verbatim in my head translates to CONVENIENCE. Someones convenience. This will always labelled "outlier" case. {continued in comments}
