I predict that most people will just switch from badly designed office work to badly designed remote/hybrid. Remote work is not a silver bullet that magically waives all the workspace problems away. It is much harder to do right, both in terms of productivity, and in terms of keeping people motivated and mentally healthy. My experience with badly designed remote: - it may improve personal productivity, but decreases team productivity - it decreases transparency across the org - it reduces personal connections inside of a team - it reduces touch points between different teams - any problems with personal performance are now very tricky to ‘debug’ and solve Unless your org invests heavily to redesign all work processes in a proper way that fits remote or hybrid work, unless your managers are good enough to self-adjust their work habits, you might as well end up spending all these ‘personal extra hours’ talking to a mental health professionals and actively avoiding burnout. You may even find yourself working more and doing overtimes to keep up because overall productivity of your org has plummeted (despite “self reported productivity gains” that all these articles preach).
