Could you please let big tech know, they seem to be ignorant or intellectually dishonest on this point.
- izacus 3y agoYeah, has to be "intellectual dishonesty". God forbid there might be, maybe, a small option of admitting that WFH might not have so much benefits as HNers claim. ;) It's not like engineers would ever be... intelectually dishonest.
- Anonbrit 3y agoEvery study of productivity during WFH of tech workers that I can find suggests it is, on average, higher. Every study on worker happiness suggests that it is, on average, higher. Formal studies on open plan all suggest, for different reasons, that it makes people less productive, yet that is what management prefer. They're just dishonest about their motivation.

- pembrook 3y agoBeing a monopoly and minting monopoly-level profits allows you to ignore otherwise rational market signals. Google has 92% marketshare in search, Apple has 82% of global smartphone profits, etc.So they can ignore the rational pull of a cheaper distributed talent market. Until public market investors get upset they’re paying $300k/yr for state school grads to do banal project management jobs inside the most expensive real estate on earth, nothing will change.
