It completely ignores how much senoir employees struggle with WFH. Without an office there is very little opportunity for senior employees to casually look to see how hard junior employees are staring at their monitor to determine the depth and quality of their work. Instead they have to look at the actual work produced and try to understand it well enough to not look like an idiot when they talk about it.

>see how hard junior employees are staring at their monitor to determine the depth and quality of their work. I don't think any senior does this. Managers, yes. Maybe a few leads. But I know butt in seat doesn't correlate to amount of quality work. I've had days where everything is blank in my head and others where I did a week's work in a day. You can influence this somewhat by having a good environment, but the creative process doesn't work like blue collar work (despite many of our systems in office based on blue collar labor processes).

You probably haven't been in the office for a long time if you think all people did there was sit and stare at their monitors all day. > Instead they have to look at the actual work produced and try to understand it well enough to not look like an idiot when they talk about it. Unfortunately not every junior employee has a manager that will champion the value of their work to their peers for them. Junior employees will often have to do that themselves and that's much easier to do in a casual setting during lunch or over drinks than having to schedule a zoom call.
