Things like apprenticeship are impossible to do remotely.
Also Zuckerberg is for physical offices for the same reasons Dimon is. Hard to manage, no apprenticeship/internship, no culture.
Maybe it is possible for small companies and startups but managing thousands of employees remotely is very challenging.
- whateveracct 6y agomaybe if we're lucky, big company culture and practices will be hamstrung going forward. the hierarchy and control they rely on to seem optimal are outmoded
- greenyoda 6y ago> Zuckerberg is for physical offices That would explain why, as the article mentioned, Facebook has added 1 million square feet of Manhattan office space during the pandemic.
- mrkramer 6y agoI read somewhere that at first Zuckerberg was against remote work but I think he gave in because of peer pressure within Facebook and within tech industry. Facebook will probably embrace hybrid: half physical half remote work. But I agree with JPMorgan CEO that remote work is problematic and that only some ops can go permanently remote. Maybe in the future everybody can work remotely but I think it is still too early.
