All reasons corporations will crush it. They don't want happy workers, they want fearful ones.

- dukeyukey 3y agoI can kinda see that but it's just not been true in my experience. My CEO and CTO don't care if you're in the office - they're not in so why would they care? Hell, the CEO only lives a 20 minute walk from the office, and he still doesn't come in!
- Swizec 3y agoI think we’re seeing these attitudes change in real time. Progress execs don’t care as long as the work gets done. Conservative execs see wfh as an affront to status. You have to remember that we’re the first generation since pre-industrial times that even can work from home en masse.
