If a qualified dev is "under performing" that is a management problem. If a qualified manager is "under performing" that is a leadership problem. Put another way, Zuck says devs who are better managed - by managers who are better lead - perform better. No doubt, remote work is different*. Which means managers and leaders are less experienced in the particulars. It's bad form to blame the players and/or the game. Finally, productive here is in the context of work. If you're commuting, chances are you lose personal productivity. Is that accounted for anywhere? * I've worked (as a contractor) at a number of places who have switched to remote-only and they are still a long way from figuring that out. Sadly, for the most part, they have no idea how far off they are. Or just don't care.
