What I HATE is that we now have this "trend" -- or a bit of press based upon it -- from THE SAME institutions that foisted "veal pen", "collaborative" productivity upon us, for a couple of decades.
From one person who "saved the company", or certainly his department (and more), a couple of times, yet suffered mercilessly under a "cost cutting motivated", one-size-fits-all HR "best practices" promulgated reign of... "abuse", frankly:
FUCK YOU.
I can't read these articles without become incensed, because I sense that behind many of them are the same idiots who made life miserable.
AND... I suspect that "quiet time" will still remain the privilege and province of that minority of employee "who counts".

- pasbesoin 13y agoSorry for the outburst. I need to take a break for a while. To those who haven't become so bitter: An object lesson in the need to get out of miserable circumstances, before they get you.
- tsunamifury 13y agoAs a Product Manager, I'm familiar with being on the other side of an outburst like this. I run a relaxed dev team with regular flexible hours, plenty of work-from-home, scheduled check ins and clear project timelines, with a sprint maybe at most twice a year lasting for 4-5 days maximum, and I still get these outbursts. Im curious, because sometimes I think regardless of policy, some devs put mental pressure on themselves to the point of outburst and project it on policies or office issues or management. How much of this do you think is the policies you hate, and how much if it is your own internal struggle with what you'd rather be doing.
