I might be going way out on a limb here, but I think this kind of thing is a subtle driver of age/family discrimination.
What kind of workers are more likely to live by the office, and thus able to drop in on a moment's notice? Young, single workers.
What type of workers are less likely to do this? Older workers or workers with families who have to deal with commute/spouses/children/etc.
- gingerlime 14y agoMy gut feeling too. If I were living within 7 minutes walking-distance from work, I sure wouldn't mind coming in, especially if work is so flexible that I can come in at 3pm and nobody lifts an eyebrow. My workplace is actually not that far away, around 25-30 minutes of public-transport commute. I still see lots of benefits for remote-working. Striking a balance is the key. I wouldn't want to exclusively work from home either.
