There's another term for that: Confirmation bias.
That's fine, but let's not pretend your opinion is any more valid than anyone else's, including the individual employees who feel differently.
The reality is no one, here, is actually basing their opinion on data. Absent that this is basically faith. Which is great 'cuz then we can all just agree to disagree. ;)
- spoonjim 5y agoThe difference is that the individual employee advocating for WFH is doing so because it’s better for them, not because it’s better for Google. The interests of capital and labor are not necessarily aligned here.
- CarelessExpert 5y agoFrankly, that makes me even more suspicious of any claims by either side that are not backed by data. Confirmation bias isn't a good basis for credulity.
