I do love that HN commenters painstakingly refute and poke holes in any and all research except that which confirms that remote work is good.

- lovich 2y agoWhen leaders only give empty platitudes as their reason for the RTO and don’t even fund enough office space[1] for their workers why would anyone not? Maybe they have a good reason but we have no reason to believe so if they won’t explain [1]I, and multiple other engineers I know at different companies, don’t even have desks now. We have hot desking and whatever random locker with 1 cubic ft of storage that you can find, which get cleared out every several days. I rewatched office space with my boomer father recently and he could not believe me when I said I would take their office environment in a heart beat. “All Hands” meetings in the office also mean “please direct your team to only have 50% of them come in as we do not have enough desks for everyone”
- dingnuts 2y agoI don't need a study to know it's good. I like it and it positively affects my life. My employer pays for an amount of work, and gets it. I negotiated my salary under remote conditions. If my employer believes I'm more productive in the office they're welcome to renegotiate my salary on that basis.
- hooverd 2y agoMost of the comments in this thread are doing the opposite. They're saying that despite the research the intangibles are actually what matter (for RTO).
