I happen to like the people I work with, even gained some as friends outside the office. I have a great relationship with my boss, who I go to all the time. I gained this with 2-days in-office a week. We've seen light of the New World, and we won't pushed into regression.
The NYT is finally catching up...
If you're early in your career or still building, remote work is brutal:
- You miss real training, feedback, and institutional knowledge
- Productivity drops ~20% (MIT study)
- No mentors. No company culture.
- No bonding. No happy hours.
- Fewer real work friends
- Divorce rates and mental health issues spike
- Fewer spontaneous opportunities (client meetings, drinks with the boss, hallway ideas)
- Lower promotions and job security long-term
as someone who has been remote work engineer in private and public sector, large companies and startups for well over a decade, this is all false
what is happening is companies are having to become more competitive about employee compensation because they can no longer give u a shitty pizza party instead of a bonus, they are struggling to continue the โweโre a family here!โ Propaganda that permeated pre-2010 work environments
workers having more free time as a result of 0 commute are able to seek more opportunities than before, outside of the closed loop ecosystems of in-office interactions and more time to build real relationships outside of work that arenโt anchored to the workplace that would normalize vaporize the second one of you leave the organization
you donโt go to work to make friends, this is a childโs view of work, people being kind to you and finding mutual interests and occasionally hanging out is more to do with having shared the same work environment, but beyond this you can never get very close with a coworker unless you want to be at risk of your coworkers collecting kompromat in the event you have a falling out
this just goes to show that the NYT and anyone agreeing with this article are out of touch and either have zero industry experience or are being paid to push this propaganda slop
@gaymergir As someone who lives near this gas station on Saratoga and Graves, it's still one of the cheaper Rotten Robbies along Saratoga Ave. Even at 6.49/gal.
@SenAlexPadilla@SenAdamSchiff As my California senators, please see about increasing the number of public trashcans around the Capitol. Please and thank you.
Got a bottle of wine that im not a fan of. Which way does one go, drinking Twitter?
1. Drink it real slow to spread out the bad taste over several meh tasting meals.
2. Drink it fast and get it over with.
Your homework is due Wednesday.
Didn't know until today that In n Out puts Bible verse reference on their water and drink cups. Very Chick Fil A core. At least the verses are water related.
