I hate open plan offices more than anything but this isn't a good argument; if I'm more effective when working remotely, then taking days off is potentially good. It takes more research to relate this one-liner back to productivity or creativity (whichever metric you prefer).
Love the link to the sartre deep-dive.
- slededit 10y agoI wouldn't equate sick days with "taking days off" in the colloquial sense; Assuming those sick days are due to legitimate illness. A day spent at home due to a fever is not equivalent to a vacation day, and I can't imagine anyone would say its a "good thing". If it was about vacation days then I think I'd agree with you.
