We are trying this but have you seen the constant media siege bombarding us with “studies” show remote work is bad for you? In the uk there are now articles saying that even hybrid is bad. We want to be more independent but we are not always allowed to. Tech is meant to be the easiest path to independence yet somehow its not. Wondering why.
- slau 3y agoI haven’t seen the studies you mention, but I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if in a few years some of these studies are revealed to have had some bias due to being funded by commercial landlords.
- Aurornis 3y agoRemote work is different from pace of work. Going remote shouldn’t change the pace of worn. For some people, going remote causes their productivity to collapse (distractions, loneliness, feeling disconnected, less oversight) but those people should be managed individually. But being remote or in office shouldn’t determine your pace of work.
- gumballindie 3y agoIt does change the pace of work, because suddenly there are fewer distractions so you can focus on doing actual work. As opposed to wasting time chatting or in useless meeting. That means you dont have to rush getting the actual work done. So yeah, it’s a better, slower, calmer, well thought out, pace. It’s you, the code, and the environment that makes you happy. Thats why working less results in more output, paradoxically.
