Interestingly this is my distaste when I read pro remote-work posts about undisturbed focused time to do "the work".
I'm not saying it is intended or correct, but it is the implication I take from it, and I feel it undersells what engineers do
- tomohawk 3y agoThere is a time and a place for every purpose. Unfortunately, on site work conditions usually add a lot of friction to getting focused work done. Being potentially more optimal for collaboration work does not make up for this. So, yes, you may hear about the sudden ability of people to get work done at a level they could not do when on site, and so they are happy about this aspect of remote. It's been a couple of years since we went remote with our teams, and it has been a very positive experience for both collaboration and focus. We found that collaboration worked a lot better when it was actually intentional. It made the result of the collaboration more high value and strategic. If you are depending on people accidentally bumping into one another for collaboration to occur, then you are being very poorly led.
