>Our early analysis of performance data suggests that engineers who either joined Meta in-person and then transferred to remote or remained in-person performed better on average than people who joined remotely. This analysis also shows that engineers earlier in their career perform better on average when they work in-person with teammates at least three days a week. This requires further study, but our hypothesis is that it is still easier to build trust in person and that those relationships help us work more effectively.
Looks like the age of pure remote work is done for big corporates!

Yeah, to me that also looks like a thinly veiled threat "get back to the office or prepare to be laid off".
- lephty 4y agoInteresting hypothesis. If it is true, what does it say about social networks like FB if in-person networks provide better trust building than online ones.
- saos 4y agoIt was always going to happen. It was for a season to protect people from covid and lessen the spread of it.
- rob74 4y agoNot so sure... remote working was a thing already before Covid (just think of the millions of hours wasted commuting daily, not to mention the tons of CO2 emitted), Covid simply accelerated what seemed to be an inevitable evolution to a revolution. Now we have arrived at the "counter-revolution" stage, where the powers that be (managers) try to turn back the clock to the "good old times". Let's see if they will succeed...
- alfalfasprout 4y agoThey won’t. Cat’s out of the bag and anyone who has market power demands remote work now. This is just a move to justify massive commercial real estate portfolios because by all accounts they’re plummeting in value.
