Hybrid is the way

This article is based on verified sources and supported by editorial technologies.

Well then, list the sources, you twits. Also “editorial technologies” sounds suspiciously like “AI”.

The almost equivalent claim is that going to work sucks. This second claim is perhaps more instructive.

Now we need a genius architect to convert all of that office space into homes for the homeless. That includes changing any laws that would prevent that from happening.

Having a purpose makes us thrive. In some cases, it could be work.

There’s no superhero coming to save you. Bother your local city council yourself, or at least donate to groups who will.

Not when these losers are trying to make work from home look bad. I’m honestly betting it’s some middle management shill.

Different people prefer doing things in different ways, that should be obvious?

Anyone have a link to the actual study?

…Right?

Cool… So if those sources are verified you won’t mind sharing them with me?

The fish step is realizing that it’s a possibility. The second step is to create awareness. This person just made it to step two. Let’s cheer them on!

Someone needing to be constantly monitored to be effective isn’t a different way of doing something, it is acting like a child.

That is not what they said. I could argue you are acting like a child.

Wait, we’re thriving?

Working from home makes life significantly better, but that’s a pretty low bar.

Well, I don’t need saving, but others do. There is no such thing as a superhero but I agree…there is lots of bureaucracy and administration! Going through proper channels while the world burns is not something I put a whole lot of faith in when the first knee-jerk response to anything is the economic cost. Sometimes the people have to get involved, not the systems (which are decidedly lacking nowadays).

I appreciate this as a balanced take.

I’ve done a little work from home, and it’s nice being home, but it’s still work. If you’re doing your job right, it’s still your job.

Unfortunately, I’ve also seen that while some people are great at WFH and even do better, a lot of people either don’t get anything done, or look very “productive” because they’re harassing people still at work with meaningless busywork like sending emails that don’t do anything or asking other people to do parts of their job they’d be able to do if they were at work.

I think that partially goes to the point of “what is productivity?” since someone can look busy but not be doing anything that actually does anything positive for either boots on the ground micro views or mile high macro views. “Oh, look at how many emails got sent” great, did that actually help the business run? And sometimes the answer is “yes, and we should let this WFH worker continue at all costs”, and in others the answer is “No, and we need to get this person into the office or eliminate the position because either would be better than the status quo”

It’s a bit managerial in the way to look at it, but in order to justify WFH, the people working from home must be providing enough value to justify their employment, because too much overhead waste and the business ends, maybe every business embracing WFH ends, and then all that’s left is the ones that didn’t. To be clear, that’s not a moral stance, but a purely pragmatic evolutionary stance: Those things which survive continue and those that die do not.

They literally said they couldn’t keep them self on task.

But people with money and power lose a miniscule amount of both so the slaves will continue to commute

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

Oh they do, “must stop this immediately!”

I’m WFH and my boss makes me miserable a lot.

But at least I’m not wearing pants.
