That matches what I'd expect. Individual contributors think about their own situation, managers are supposed to think about the bigger picture, about making something more than the sum of the parts.
- stephenr 2y agoIt also matches the sad stereotype that middle management types with no real clue what their staff do, need to see bums on seats to have any concept of worker productivity because they're incapable of measuring the actual productivity of their reports.
- bigfatkitten 2y agoWhich raises a question that those middle managers don't want asked: What value do they actually add to the business?
- geoduck14 2y ago>What value do they actually add to the business? We bring the right people together at the right time to solve the right problem
- instig007 2y agohow do you achieve that, and why do you think that the right people wouldn't be able to achieve the same with remote sync and upfront email exchanges without you?
- stephenr 2y agoThat, Detective, is the right question.
- munksbeer 2y agoWithing that is this implicit assumption that managers are correct that forcing people back to the office will make everyone more productive.
- exe34 2y agothat's a non-sequitur. you have stated that a manager cares about the bigger picture and you have implied that in-office is better for the bigger picture, but you haven't provided any evidence/reasoning to link the two.
