Employees have been able to work remotely since offices were closed at the beginning of the pandemic last year. “As part of my commitment to remote and hybrid work, I plan to spend as much as half of the next year working remotely,” Zuckerberg told employees Wednesday. By January 2022, Facebook employees will be allowed to permanently move between seven more countries in Europe, the Middle East or Africa. Other tech companies also are grappling with how to retain employees who have enjoyed the freedom of remote work during the Covid-19 pandemic. VMware Inc. is letting its employees become permanent remote workers, but they, too, will receive a pay cut if they move from Silicon Valley.
