Office culture skipped in this piece: poor managers can only tell if you're working by seeing you at a desk. They also rely on "dropping in" at a desk to force an employee to prioritize their immediate needs. WfH requires them to be level up as managers. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/05/06/ceo-i-want-my-employees-understand-risks-not-returning-work-office/
@kyle being remote hasn’t stopped me from helping junior staff, or celebrating major events and accomplishments. This sounds like it comes from a narrow point of view that can’t understand the ways the culture credited with building their foundation probably actually slowed their growth. Unless I’m back doing mechanical design where I need to be on site with machining and fabrication to avoid scrapping million dollar pieces of steel I don’t need to be in the office.
