Reddit Announces Work From Anywhere Policy | Remote Work

Driven by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic – and following similar decisions made by organizations such as Twitter – Reddit has revealed plans to allow its employees to continue working remotely in the future. The company detailed this change in a blog post published today, while also outlining certain role-specific exceptions, particularly for positions in facilities and IT support.

“As we look to the future,” Reddit states, “our goal is to support our employees in performing their best work, particularly during these uncertain times. Furthermore, as we strive to fulfill our goal of fostering a sense of community for everyone globally, we aim for Reddit’s workforce to reflect the diversity found within its communities and user base.”

The company will maintain its office spaces as an option for employees – alongside the possibility of a hybrid remote/office arrangement – though these locations will undergo significant changes. This adjustment is anticipated to receive varying responses from employees, depending on their individual preferences for office environments.

“Consider this: relaxed, café-style seating areas, dedicated quiet zones for concentrated work, expanded reservable resources and collaborative areas for team meetings in person, and the elimination of assigned desks—instead, we’ll create team-based zones and bookable workstations for those working from the office,” the post explains.

This shift resembles a co-working environment more than a conventional office setup. The change will also influence Reddit’s compensation structure, with salaries aligned to those of high-cost-of-living areas like New York and San Francisco, irrespective of the employee’s geographic location.
