Altman on remote work
Meanwhile, during another interaction at an event hosted by fintech firm, Stripe, Altman said that the era of remote work was over. According to Altman, staff working from the office can create new products, while those operating remotely only adds to confusion. The 38-year-old said that he considered remote work as an experiment and that it was one of the worst mistakes of the tech industry to assume that everybody could go fully remote forever.
I think definitely one of the tech industrys worst mistakes in a long time was that everybody (thought they) could go full remote forever, and startups didnt need to be together, he said. There was going to be no loss of creativity. I would say that the experiment on that is over, and the technology is not yet good enough that people can be fully remote forever, particularly on startups, he was quoted as saying at the event.
