Caveat being that not many people get to pick who their boss is, and quite frankly I don't know that I've met too many good bosses that toot their own horn.
At the end of the day, people should have full accountability for their career and actions, but at a junior level there is a poor baseline for what a good trajectory and a bad trajectory looks like, so room for mistakes is bigger...which should allow people to learn faster.
- AuthorizedCust 4y ago> Caveat being that not many people get to pick who their boss is… Orthogonal to my premise. Being in person doesn’t entitle you to pick your boss, either.
- _vertigo 4y agoNo, but at least in person it's easier and much more natural to facilitate mentorship opportunities for yourself if your boss isn't so good.
- mym1990 4y agoI am specifically zeroing in on that because there just aren't that many good "bosses" out there, and even fewer great leaders...as much as most bosses think they may be good. If you do have a great boss that takes the time and energy to do mentorship, wonderful! But that leaves us with the rest of the workforce that has average and bad managers...I would bet that remote outcomes for that part of the workforce are not great.
