- capableweb 5y agoOn similar note (but maybe not too similar): My work switched from being a in-office company to everything-remote. Productivity took a big hit because we were a small, tight-knit company, and people stopped talking with each other. Left it to take a job in a company that will never switch to remote-only. Much happier again.
- folkrav 5y agoIt failed cause it took a team that worked in X way and made them work in Y way. Siloed work and faulty communication is an issue with in-person too, just differently. Happy you found something that works for you, but you're overgeneralizing.
- minkzilla 5y agoHe is not generalizing at all, he said what happened to his team.
- capableweb 5y agoIt failed because only 25% of the team actually wanted to go remote, the rest of us feel we're more productive in a non-remote environment. Work was never siloed (remote or not). I'm not saying remote/no-remote is right for everyone, just talking about what works for me/the ones close to me, YMMV obviously.
- postalrat 5y agoProbably the same people who are saying they are much more productive working from home.
- fxtentacle 5y agoDon't think so. I'm highly productive working from home. But when I went to the office, we mostly ended up drinking and playing video games. I can't do maths without hours of quiet contemplation of the problem. In an office, that's almost impossible.
