I guess we'll see how much of that was what you said and how much is "I need to be in the same room as these people to do my work", which won't, or soon won't be true like it was for the past 100+ years.
- bamboozled 6y agoI'm now a senior engineer with over 10 years experience and I have to be honest, I wouldn't have been the engineer I am today without sitting next to others and learning things, nor would I have been able to mentor people without personal interaction and having them sit and look over my shoulder. The things is, I work remotely now and have for a while, while I find a lot of pleasure in it, I can see the selfish side of it too. One important change I've noticed in working for remotes is, we tend to hire experienced people, IMO for the following reason.... We, still don't know how to mentor juniors remotely. This is from an emotional and technical perspective. I've also never received promotions as a remote person either. I feel there's a long way to go with fully remote workforce being the ideal situation for most people.
