This trend will accelerate ecosystems across the Midwest & South.

Tulsa remote’s applications are up 10x. Detroit, Cincy, Indy, Louisville, all have the same story.
If you want to invest in former Dropbox or Uber or Twitter folks etc, you will have to do so in the Midwest. https://t.co/2qQP5DRJQT
This is one of the most serious pledge to remote work I have seen from a large tech company! Excited to see how it unfolds :)https://t.co/40XkARkvNZ

Today we announced that @Dropbox is going Virtual First. We've learned a lot during the shift to remote work, and we hope this intentional approach will blend the best of both remote and in-office work, and help us live our mission. https://t.co/GSCKhpbfo1

I have several friends at #Dropbox and they are all leaving SF now citing quality of life (but not all are leaving CA).

A deep financial shock is coming to #SanFrancisco. Leaders still clueless and virtue signaling against tech like its 2019. https://t.co/Ts2fKI7wVe
Dropbox just announced it is becoming a “virtual first” company.
— Cindy Sridharan (@copyconstruct) October 13, 2020
honestly, this is the first such post that actually makes sense to me. It addresses all the pros and cons of a “remote first” culture and proposes something that addresses all the concerns.https://t.co/nWW6RzxGxz pic.twitter.com/460zyR91bp
It’s clear that distributed work is here to stay, and we believe that brings an opportunity to redesign the way we work for the better. Starting today, Dropbox is becoming a Virtual First company. https://t.co/3v9MUBKztM

Now Dropbox, with a sizeable Dublin office, is going "virtual first".

Offices "will no longer be for daily individual work — all solo work and most meetings will take place in a distributed environment."https://t.co/vTywxuNjeI
Dropbox becomes a remote first company and ups the ante by replacing offices with “studios” where employees can hang out or meet in person.

It’s now a flood. The business cost saving and convenience of lower rent/no commute for workers is too powerfulhttps://t.co/OfT4WKgwOJ
are there any other examples of companies completely converting their offices into meeting rooms only, no desks?

(looking forward to commentary from the folks who focus on the future of work!)https://t.co/cPaO4p4XPW
"Dropbox Studios" = "...whether they’re dedicated spaces in places we currently have long-term leases and a high concentration of employees (San Francisco, Seattle, Austin, and Dublin to start) or on-demand spaces in other geographies,” the company said. https://t.co/6UP0ahDlqh

even with this change Dropbox will still have to make $1.1 billion in future minimum payments for non-cancelable leases https://t.co/z7pSQ8LuQc pic.twitter.com/ZotI17IY0Z

As more tech companies become “virtual-first,” allowing employees to work from anywhere, cities and states will compete to attract them. It also means CS education can land students a high-paying Silicon Valley tech job from any city. https://t.co/Hi728ohlC2

The future. Really, the present. If your company is not already speaking with @FirstbaseHQ @chris_herd to optimize remote onboarding + device management, you’re late to the game. https://t.co/tUjND77P7h

I'm predicting I will read this sentence soon: "Onsites are changing the way we work, learn and play."

Dropbox is the latest company to embrace remote work. The company announces a new "virtual first" policy, where remote work will be the "day-to-day default for individual work" https://t.co/PQNEcNgVs3
