This argument presumes that management is rational and 100% data-driven, which in some cases I’ve seen gets a big fat [citation needed] from me.
- NovemberWhiskey 4y agoHow about "management is motivated by money and success, which for them is strongly correlated to the performance of the company"? But, no, for some reason many HN posters prefer the "management wishes to exercise petty authority over us" reason.
- angoragoats 4y agoI agree with you that upper management is very often motivated by money and success, and I didn't say anything to the contrary. However, I was more getting at the fact that a lot of tech CEO types seem to have a belief that employees being physically present in an office is somehow related to "success" and "performance of the company," when I have yet to see any credible study or data that shows this. So I think that they believe they are acting in the interests of the company, but their beliefs don't seem to be grounded in empirical data.
