This is a very interesting comment so will add some thoughts to this WFH has a huge difference in result depending on who you are, when you are (in your career), and where you are in a company (or organization). * agreed 100% -- For the budding young developer who can't wait to show ideas to teammates and demonstrate being a go-getter by asking random questions and finding unaddressed issues to innovate on, WFH might be terrible. You're going to schedule time to fortuitously run into the senior person who takes an interest in your idea? * yes, for people who don't know how stuff works, company culture, how to get things done this is very bad -- For the working parent whose productivity has been slashed by 50% and stress has gone up by 50% due to parenting obligations, WFH might be terrible. * pretty sure there are more parents who wish they could WFO than want to work from home and also homeschool their kids -- For the middle manager who can coast along and not need to move greatly in his/her career, WFH might be great. * depending on company 'coasters' can be 20% to 70%. For all of them WFH is superb because no one knows whether they are working hard or coasting. All their tricks like having certain things set up and certain screens on their monitors etc. - not needed any more -- For the developer who works by tickets on very concrete things and this is nothing new, WFH might be great. highly focused developers who like to shut off everything. WFH is great Except the PM/Project Manager/Tech Lead goes crazy because then developers start making what they find interesting and there is no way to keep them on track -- For the small company CEO who relies on force of personality and everyone in the same room urgently working to get something done, WFH might be terrible. * yea, this is absolutely terrible for anyone who has a leadership role much of the work you get done is by leadership, and sometimes by leadership by force of personality or by 'created' consensus good luck getting that in a WFH scenario * The real test of WFH will be when we see how companies that choose WFH after Coronoavirus, do compared to companies that go back to WFO lots of tech companies are slobbering at the thought of cutting out office costs and paying employees less my money is on such companies getting trounced by teams that work together and interact in an office environment Right now we are in the honeymoon phase of work from home and very few (if any) real products are being launched that were started after coronavirus forced work from home let's see how people feel in a year or two It just takes 1 or 2 lazy people to bring down an entire product launch. WFH makes it very hard to figure out who these slackers are, and even harder to cover up their mistakes/flaws Mythical Man Month is even more dangerous when WFH scenarios are involved
