It feels like HN leans toward the idea that remote work is always better. I disagree, but I recognize I'm in the minority here.
But, I do want to point out that this happened:

Correlation is not causation, etc. BUT, to me it feels like this kind of thing would not have happened if there had been more consistent in office time.
(ducks from the tidal wave of downvotes...)
Sure, I imagine that many will say: if people were not in the office, there are not opportunities for sexual harassment! But, I would say, interacting with people face to face leads to better communication and connection. And, in doing so, reduces the likelihood of interactions that are interpreted as sexual harassment, and reduces the likelihood that people will interact with others in a purely sexual way because they have limited exposure to them in person.
- BlargMcLarg 3y agoSo you're using an article from 2014 and grasping at straws to make a point against WFH or what? Just what are you trying to say here?
- nomdep 3y agoBtw, the sexual harassment claim was later proven false by an independent investigation
- xrd 3y agoI didn't know that. That's interesting. Do you think that she felt compelled to assert that indicates that she felt disconnected from her leadership? To me that's important in the context of remote work, that less face time means less connection.
