My prediction: Talk is cheap and all the bellyaching will amount to maybe a temporary increase in attrition for a quarter (2x perhaps?) but negligible long term

- swiley 5y agoCommuting means an immediate 14% pay cut in time alone (ignoring CoL due to required proximity and vehicle maintenance, so it's really closer to 20%.) There are real economic forcings on the worker side against required office presence.

- dougmwne 5y agoHere's my own prediction from going through this 5 years ago and being out of the office for awhile then going back on-site. It felt like going back and sitting in a high school classroom after I had already graduated. I had always been inside the rat maze and was suddenly outside it for the first time. My eyes were permanently opened to just how unnecessary to our jobs being physically present was and how much less I was getting done and how much more stress I had performing my work rather than doing my work. There was no going back for me. I quit after 3 months on-site and found a remote job. I predict I will not be alone.
