4yThanks for sharing your feedback. Remote work is both a hot and important topic. My belief is that the pandemic forced us to try something (remote work) that we did not previously have the courage to try. We learned that it can be an effective strategy, but it is not ideal in all circumstances and for all roles. Presently, and two years after the pandemic lockdowns began, we still have team members assigned to our Vegas HQ office who work 100% remotely. We are still working to figure out the right mix going forward in terms of which roles it is best for and under what circumstances. We respectfully disagree that the basis for our decisions on this matter are due to a lack of trust. For some roles, the requirements of the role just don’t lend themselves to a high mix of remote work. For other roles, we are more likely to consider 100% remote or some sort of hybrid (2 days in, 3 days remote). Our stance on this topic will continue to evolve over time and remain important for consideration as we face competition to hire new talent in pursuit of our growth objectives.
