Literally just one person's opinion. No data. No analysis. And the actual claim is weaker than the title suggests. I'm not sure why this is here. HN commentators regularly have better takes, even.
- dimitrisnl 5y agoI've thought about this too tbh. Personally, having lived on extended lockdown for some months now, I've entertained the idea of taking a sabbatical. There's no joy for me anymore.
- reaperducer 5y agoLiterally just one person's opinion There's more to it than that. From the article: "an associate professor of management at Texas A&M University..." No data. No analysis. "...who’s studied the exits of hundreds of workers."
- Afforess 5y agoYou seem to have confused a claim with data. Please check the article again and let me know where the data is.
- HelloNurse 5y agoIt's an interesting subject, irrespective of strong or weak claims. There's no doubt of a collision between workplaces attempting to put people back in their cubicles regardless of their wishes, workplaces attempting to make remote work permanent and sustainable, and workforce lifestyle changes becoming easier (at least for psychological reasons, even in the absence of concrete factors). I don't assume that companies that prefer remote work are "better": it can be a cynical cost-cutting measure that causes more misery (due to communication problems, loneliness, externalization of costs like computers and broadband access, discrimination, off-hours demands etc.) than going to the office like in the old days.
