Airbnb announced on Thursday<\/a> that the \u201cvast majority\u201d of its employees will be allowed to work remotely, and won\u2019t have to take a pay cut if they move away from the cities surrounding the company\u2019s offices. Airbnb is implementing the change after it had \u201cthe most productive two-year period\u201d in its history while working remotely, according to a Twitter thread<\/a> from Brian Chesky, the company\u2019s co-founder and CEO. It is worth noting, however, that it also laid off a quarter of its workforce<\/a> during that time.<\/p>\n

Airbnb is also making other remote work policy changes. According to its announcement post, employees will also be able \u201clive and work in over 170 countries for up to 90 days a year in each location,\u201d as long as they keep a permanent address on file. The company will also periodically have \u201cteam gatherings, off-sites, and social events\u201d to let its employees actually meet face-to-face throughout the year.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Airbnb\u2019s new model is uncommon, but not unprecedented. Zillow<\/a> and Reddit<\/a> promised that most employees wouldn\u2019t have to take pay cuts after moving away from major metro areas in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Companies like Twitter<\/a>, Square<\/a>, and Dropbox<\/a> have all embraced remote work as well. But there are plenty of companies that work differently \u2014 employees at Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft will have to take a pay cut if they want to move to an area with a lower cost of living, according to reports like this one by the BBC<\/a> (though some of those companies are more<\/a> friendly<\/a> towards<\/a> remote work than<\/a> others<\/a>).<\/p>\n

While Airbnb\u2019s new remote work polices certainly sound nice, it\u2019s hard to hold up the company as a shining example of how to treat employees. A few months into the pandemic, it fired 1,900 of its workers, around a quarter of its workforce at the time. According to a report from The New York Times<\/em><\/a>, the values of belonging, love, and being like a family that the company touted went out the window as it stared down the barrel of drastically reduced rates of travel<\/a>. It almost feels like its new policies are a salve to its remaining workers \u2014 albeit one that\u2019s coming years after the layoffs, and years after other companies adopted similar polices.<\/p>\n

Airbnb isn\u2019t alone in this respect either; Zillow also laid off about a quarter of its workforce<\/a> during the pandemic, though that was because it bought too many houses, not because its business is based on something people could no longer do.<\/p>\n

It also sounds like Airbnb is implementing some pretty serious structure in other areas, even if its employees will be relatively free when choosing where to work. Chesky notes<\/a> that the company will \u201coperate off of a multi-year roadmap with two major product releases a year\u201d to make sure everyone stays organized. <\/p>\n

Despite the bumpy road to get there, it does seem like Airbnb\u2019s landed at a set of policies that could be quite enticing to current and potential employees. (They also happen to work well with the stay-or-work-anywhere vibe of the company\u2019s rental service.) Despite its relatively small size, it could influence other, larger companies to reconsider their own remote work polices \u2014 if<\/em> it\u2019s actually successful, and its employees are on board with its ideas about the future of work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
