- toomuchtodo 4y agoThe power dynamic does not require evidence, hence it being the root cause requiring a fix.
- dalyons 4y agoi know that's the generic thing to say, and its not untrue. But in this specific case i am curious what went into this decision, as I still have some small respect for the builder focused culture he created at FB for at least the first ~half of its life.
- mandeepj 4y ago> builder focused culture he created at FB for at least the first ~half of its life I loved that phase as well. Their culture changed drastically post 2016 elections and they grew too fast and too broad during Covid.
- next_xibalba 4y agoAncedotally, someone close to me who works at Meta has cited several outrageous examples of WLB'ers doing almost no work. Perhaps a few bad apples spoiled the bunch.
- prh8 4y agoIt's just as possible to do no work while sitting in an office all day, we've all seen that
- dalyons 4y agoThat's frustrating though. Just put those folk on notice, fire them if they dont improve, or fire their managers if they cant fix the problem. baby, bathwater, etc.
- next_xibalba 4y agoThey are very aggressively doing just what you describe, too. It's not an either-or type of scenario.
- dalyons 4y agook but that just re-asks the same question - if you remove the people-doing-nothing factor (by firing them) then what is the motivation for RTO?
- hot_gril 4y agoI get the feeling that remote employees do less work in general, except for the few who really make an effort to stay connected and on top of stuff despite WFH. I've been guilty of this at times, and when I got back into gear, I noticed how slowly everyone else responded to stuff. It's not just a few people going AWOL and ruining it for everyone.

- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoIs people immediately responding to you a measure of the work they do? Does it seem productive they are interrupting whatever they were working on and losing their train of thought to answer your questions? I know my team has had the talk that Teams is an async communication method, and that we'll get back to each-other when we have spare brain cycles. The message is instant, but there's no expectation the response will be.
- hot_gril 4y agoNo, but I expect someone who has committed to a joint project to pay attention to code or design reviews and respond within a week. Which started happening less often.
