Maybe the cause and effect is reversed - fast growing companies may need remote/hybrid workers because it is the only way they can get enough help.

The fact that they use remote/hybrid workers is probably not the cause of the company's growth.

Yep. The seal has been broken. You can work in Excel and PowerPoint from your phone these days if needed, anywhere on the planet.

How would you like to move to Memphis?
Where would I need to live?
Mississippi.

Companies that invested millions or billions in real estate in places where they can't hire entry level people because they have to commute 2 hours each way to afford housing seems like a losing proposition.

Essentially yes.

In my experience, younger companies are growing more quickly than mature, established companies.

Younger companies are staffed by younger employees on average.

Younger employees on average were never coaxed into believing commuting and being tied down to a specific desk/city was the optimal way to work.

Therefore, most younger companies need to have remote work policies to attract younger talent to work their jobs.
