I have the same feeling. After he said he sees no any benefit of remote work, I stopped being interested in anything he has to say.

  That's not exactly what he said was it, he was talking about the interplay you get with every one in the same room. Ill give you an example I did a RAD (agile) project with one other developer back in the early web days two of us flew up to Edinburgh and given a clean room and with a co located team produced some thing that another group had quoted two years. Netflix are not paying some one 500k to half arse JIRA tickets here.

    I understand your example and there are definitely cases when working as a team in person makes you (much) more productive. However, Hastings went to the extreme. Especially for people who read headlines and article summaries, he sends a very clear message: * Netflix’s Reed Hastings Deems Remote Work ‘a Pure Negative’ (https://www.wsj.com/articles/netflixs-reed-hastings-deems-remote-work-a-pure-negative-11599487219 https://www.wsj.com/articles/netflixs-reed-hastings-deems-re...) * Netflix CEO Reed Hastings on Working From Home: ‘I Don’t See Any Positives’ (https://finance.yahoo.com/video/netflix-ceo-no-positives-working-171141657.html https://finance.yahoo.com/video/netflix-ceo-no-positives-wor...) His opinions are in stark contract with those of other CEOs in charge of the health and lives of their employees across the country.

      Not sure he went to an extreme the head line implied it and those other CEO's pure presentism in a lot of cases
