If the CEOs based their decision on these sort of posts I seriously have to question their leadership ability. I think the main reason why we see management in favor of RTO is because in my experience WFH exposed how little contribution comes from management.
In my experience many managers (at all levels) like to make the "informal rounds" where they go around the office and have chats with everyone to see what they are doing (instead of e.g. Looking at tickets or waiting for the weekly meeting). That mostly stopped with WFH, so suddenly many in management felt like they are not working anymore. The thing is this absence was often helping the engineers etc to be more productive.
- shadowtree 3y agoAbsolutely and easily provable - go work at a company with the employee count of FAANG and zero managers. As all managers are useless, this company will EASILY outperform the stupid FAANGs. Just like an army without officers, amazing stuff. Seriously, what's going on here on HN? YC has managers ffs!
- sarchertech 3y agoCare to strawman much? Did the OP say anything about 0 managers? Most FAANGS cut a higher percentage of managers than developers over the last year. It seems they think they can get away with a lower proportion of managers.
