Can you share what method you used to determine this? Has productivity dropped in a measurable way or is it something like the duration between when you send a Slack message and when they respond?
- eric4smith 4y agoUnless you hire and manage people working remotely it’s difficult for you to speak as an employee.
- turtledove 4y agoI hire and manage people who work remotely. We've never been a stronger team. Maybe remote isn't the problem, maybe you are? Building the culture and systems to support remote takes effort and belief that it will succeed.
- ctvo 4y agoThat's a lot of assumptions there about me, and what I do without answering the question.
- taylodl 4y agoSorry. I've hired several remote employees over the past 2.5 years. We now have teams comprised of individuals from all over the country - something that was simply impossible working in an office building. I have the stats showing our productivity has soared. My company is now hiring execs (VP-level folks) from all around the country. The WFH culture has been fully adopted, and quite successfully at that. Oh, and my company is a Fortune 200 blue chip that's over 115 years old...
- rurp 4y agoOK, educate us. What evidence have to drawn from your experience as a manager to draw such a firm conclusion?
