This is a fear that remote work would somehow not provide value, not a fact. The perhaps unconscious choice of adjectives - "reliable" seems particularly indicative of a fear. If one isn't in a high security requirement field where things like usb ports are locked down even in office, why is there worry about data exposure with remote vs in office work?
- kfk 3y agoHave you got experience on this? Because I have seen it first hand and reliability goes down with remote, people can leave anytime which happens less if you have developed a face to face rapport. No I don't have numbers, but neither you do? This is my point, there is no black and white here and it should be normal to discuss the topic. I fear too many people are jumping into this "remote is better" without putting enough thought into it.
- dv_dt 3y agoI've worked remote and non-remote jobs - the variation in productivity was imho independent of remote vs non-remote, and more a function of management curated environment & culture and developer mix. Distrust is a bigger anti-efficiency red flag.
