I guess that's true. But my inner cynic thinks that (ab)using people's herd instincts like that to "facilitate retention" cheapens traditional jobs. I would rather work remotely and have a meaningful social life, than work in an office and have a social life that my employer engineers to make me less likely to leave for a better job.
As an introvert, there is only so much social interaction I can take in a day. The office burns through most of it.
- gkop 11y agoI agree with you. I need to be more nuanced and less cold in my language. The reality is, I prefer going to an office and seeing my coworkers; fortunately this is well-aligned with the retention interests of my company.
- Swizec 11y agoAs I said, I'm probably just too cynical, and seeing things through the fact that I don't like going to an office. I agree that when it comes to team productivity rather than personal productivity, offices do work better. Especially when people of varying skill levels are involved.
