> I would have thought the opposite. More senior people, used to working independently, who have nice houses in the suburbs or exurbs like ditching the commute in many cases and don't care about the office socializing. People in their 20s, in many cases, really miss being with their "team" in the office.
Good point.
Most of that type of younger folks are dead weight anyway, imo, and my comment was related to the nature of high-performing, disruptive companies moving forward.
Maybe a clearer way of saying that is that I think a disproportionate percentage of the people who flock to high-performing remote workplace environments will be younger in general.
I definitely have seen an anecdotal correlation between age and effective use of typical WFH media. 60+ typically struggles, 50-60 slightly less. 40-50 seems to be natural if they are tech-oriented people, but closer to 50-60 if not. 30-40 (millennials) mostly get it. Folks in their teens and 20s seem to thrive in it more often than not.
Thanks for the comment. It will be interesting to see how the workplace ecology develops.
