Slack employees can now work remotely on a permanent basis!
Alphabet is now keeping its entire workforce remote until at least summer 2021. That's just massive on a ton of levels. So many industries will be changed forever from 2020 on. Examples:
Commercial real estate
Service industry
Education
Child care

Okta will allow the vast majority of its team to work remotely on a permanent basis now. Some 85% of their 2,600 employees are expecting to work remotely under the new policy. Huge.

Salesforce employees (all 49,000 of them) can work remotely until August 2021. Hopefully by then they'll be able to adopt a more permanent policy.
Other good news here is that they're offering parents six additional weeks of paid time off.
