Everyone is trying to understand what wfh is going to look like but I don't think they really understood what working from an office was really all about. Working from home is going to involve some very minor and inconsequential technical issues. WFH is really about power and control. Being able to physically control your body is a large part of that. It also severely curtails your alternative employment options. It isn't very easy to buy a home or even to break a lease which limits you to about a 120mi radius. Now compete with opportunities offered by the world. That's the problem. What's really going to keep employers up at night is the thought that their work from home employees realize that they're more like free agents than employees and there really isn't a need for middle management.
- bernawil 6y agoI don't think they really understood what working from an office was really all about. So right. Working from a big corporate campus: gee, this team member is in another floor, I better talk to him via IM and email. Working from small startup open office: gee, this team member is opposite myself from this small common table, better talk to him via IM, we don't want to bother every single person in the open-plan office.
