I agree with you. I find remote work infinitely more productive for ambiguous task as well. I have memories of being in an office and getting into conference rooms and dicking around for 30 minutes before the work actually begins. This doesn't happen with remote meetings.
- bluGill 3y agoThose conference rooms are often where you learn about unstated requirements. Or the real requirement that they assuemed was too hard to asked for so they put in something that would accept that they thought was easier (even though the real requirement is easier). That is also where you learn when the company is shifting directions and so you can start doing what the company really wants. All of the above can be avoided with remote work. However it is a lot easier to pick those things up in the office.
- j0hnyl 3y agoI don't completely agree here, but there is some merit to what you are saying with regards to honing on some social cues, gossip, candor, etc. However, I'd still take being in the dark on some of this stuff in exchange for all the benefits of working from home.
- bluGill 3y agoYou can skip all that even when in the office. However you run into real danger of getting fired because you are producing things that they don't need.
- LtWorf 3y agoThat is when you point to the ticket description and ask "where does it diverge from this description?"
- johnnyanmac 3y agoI'm sure most would too. But this is more about worker efficiency than personal desires. People who say they lose zero productivity in every stage of work lose some credance when the underlying narrative incentivizes them to say that.
