AJ Thomas: 65% of Workers Would Take Lower Pay for Values Alignment
“Around 65% of folks would actually choose a job with slightly lower pay if it meant working at a company that aligns with their Mission or their personal values.”
Thomas: New grads define career growth by impact, not corporate ladders
“For them, career growth is impactful work, not the ability to, you know, go up a rung on this non-existent ladder that has existed for decades”
AJ Thomas: Return-to-office is an operating-system level decision, not a feature
“And I think the remote work or return to work or return to office is an operating system level discussion. And I'm not hearing a lot of that kind of discussion happening. It's happening at the application level.”
AJ Thomas: Airbnb's remote work policy succeeded because it aligned with mission
“There's a live and work anywhere program from Airbnb, but the reason why that was developed for them was because their mission as a company was to find a place for everyone to feel like they belong. And so that worked really well for that organization.”
