I always find it amusing, reading comments from all these people who claim to be more productive working from home, or think that it works better. It proves they work in silos and contribute little.

But HN is like “no WFH good, WFO bad, me downvote you cos I fink I know wat I talk bout”

People have different work preferences; some thrive working from home, while others do better in the office. I think the strong opinions about mandated office days stem from the fact that the job doesn’t necessarily require employees to be physically present.

While jobs maybe not require someone been physically present. So far over the last 2 years seeing multiple businesses do return to office, productivity sky rocketed. Sure a few people who didn’t want to return to the office left, but turns out they weren’t that productive. People are easy to replace now.

  What are these places? How is productivity being measured?
  All this talk of data and I have yet to see _anything_.

What do you think about these remote CEOs/executives (like the new CEO of Starbucks or Elon)? Do they contribute little too?

lol you think Elon sits there writing shit at a desk? He delegates. Runs multiple businesses and floats about unblocking people and making sure progress is made.
Engineers don’t work like that.

  This argument doesn't make sense.
  1/ you're saying people managers should be allowed to work from home then?
  2/ Why does delegation not require RTO but writing shit at a desk does?

  You probably don’t need most of those managers. And you missed the point of Elon being on site.
