I am not surprised, but I am annoyed.
There are clear benefits to remote. Our company posted record profits, ICs report increased individual productivity, but we have to roll it back, because it is 'hard' on managers? Whatever happened to, 'git gud'?
Schmidt:
"I don’t know how you build great management [with remote work]. I honestly don’t," he said. And about half of managers, 51%, genuinely believe that their workers want to return to the office.
Wesman:
“Clearly, managers are struggling,” said Max Wesman, GoodHire’s chief operating officer. “Organizations that find a work arrangement that satisfies the majority of their workforce will benefit in the areas of recruitment, productivity, employee satisfaction, and retention.”
- Bud 5y agoI can think of a route towards Wesman's stated goal: if you fire most of the worthless middle managers, and let the real workers work from home, then a majority of the workforce will be satisfied.
