There are many, usually older companies, where managers have stopped doing their jobs long time ago. In these kind of companies, workers find out about what they need to do and who has the right know-how from their peers. As such, they can not work remotely. Of course top management, instead of fixing it's own problem, they are just forcing everyone to be in the "office" (more like holding enclosure). Of course, this is also a sure way to get rid of your top talent.
- PunchTornado 10y ago"top talent" rarely works remote. our top engineers are always at various offices helping on the most complex solutions.
- laughfactory 10y agoI don't know that this is the case. A lot of top talent works remote, because they prefer to be valued by output rather than face time or butt in seat time. The too talent which does not work remote, does so often by choice, because they prefer to be "in the mix." But it probably also depends on how asynchronous their organizations are, too. GitHub is super asynchronous, as is Pluralsight. These are companies who, as part of their corporate DNA, have adopted means of working together which don't require being together in an office. Pluralsight, for example, has offices, teams, and individual contributors all over the US. We work together using Slack, BlueJeans, and GitHub. It works incredibly well.
