Even if your interlocutor can, and even if the large scale studies run counter to your argument, that doesn't mean your experience is invalid.
Life isn't a double-blind randomised placebo-controlled study. There is no control group consisting of you and your cohort to measure against.
The scientific method is, I argue, on the whole, the wrong instrument to bear in these scenarios, at least because measuring the metrics affects the study group and publishing the resulted affects the society in which the study occurred.
- jaggederest 3y agoAbsolutely agree. I just wanted to provide a counterpoint to the idea that it was just accepted and obvious that remote onboarding is worse - that doesn't mean it isn't, but I don't think we have to assume that it is. I'm interested in hearing other people's experiences especially because I've been remote since 2011 so I have a clearly biased perspective.
- bloppe 3y agoLife feels a lot like a double-blind randomised placebo-controlled study sometimes.
