In this local vs. remote work debate I find that the truth, as it often does, lies somewhere in the middle. There are pros and cons to both environments and what matters is what each environment offers how an employee chooses to deal with the challenges associated with each.
Some people are more equipped than others to deal with work distractions and some people are more equipped than others to deal with loneliness or isolation when working in a home office environment.
I like the debate but can see both sides and don't feel there is one clear "right way".
- aantix 14y agoAgree. I like "studies" such as this, not because I think a survey based study really validates my position but because I can point to this article to progress my own agenda with the hiring managers of the world.. Just being honest (or honest about dishonesty I guess..)
- shrughes 14y agoUsually the truth doesn't lie in the middle, especially not when opinion-havers influence one another or are otherwise infected by the same culture. Consider historical distributions of opinions on the employer/employee relationship and compare the overlap between that of today.
