Lower down the tree people want to get promotions and that transition won’t happen abruptly but gradually. I agree with the overall sentiment, though. My experience is 80% of time in office on zoom or hybrid zoom/in person meetings, which does make it purely only worth it for the 20% impromptu discussions. The result is even worse exhaustion not only from commute but also from completely drowning the schedule to manage and do both. We need to rethink work and this will take some time. I would love 1 week retreats on an island every qtr for the impromptu collaboration needs and satellite offices in neighbourhoods where people can meet for specific tasks. I think I am not imaginative enough and who knows how things will change as online literate generations take the helm.
- spaniard89277 5y agoSatellite offices seems a good idea, if it's cheaper for the company. In the case of my job, they could have maybe 20? for the price they're paying now. But I wouldn't go anyway. Maybe once a month or every six weeks or so. Just because there will be people who prefers an office and to keep up with their faces, but I have no business there.
- Workaccount2 5y agoI would be making 1/4 of my current salary if I didn't work in a place were impromptu discussions could happen. If my job was WFH (its not and can't be), I would still probably be doing the same stupid entry level shit with mediocre raises. Thanks to impromptu/casual conversation though, I got pulled out from under my manager and moved to a much higher position in another department (this was over a year or so, not just a one off conversation) I could interact with higherups without being viewed as "going over my bosses head", and to me that's insanely valuable.
