@brownjava I think what we're presently seeing is the slow death of golden handcuffs -and- engagement/innovation/inspiration/creativity.

The trends we see show that many people are finally realizing it's silly to be beholden when the intense effects these managerial attitudes have on your health. What’s the point of having all those shares if you’re going to have an alcohol-assisted heart attack before 50?

Just go in 9-5 and punch out so you can enjoy the quality of life we have left.

@brownjava and, to be fair, there is a lot of nuance here. Not all job responsibilities were created equally. I wouldn't expect hardware engineers or QA to be as effective remotely.

But if you're working on server software or even a project manager-- you've a vastly different work environment. And set of conditions that affect your productivity. Same for finance, HR, etc.

But nuance is costly. Obey your capitalist thirst. :/

@brownjava I mean, put that aside for a moment. Let's attempt to look at this rationally.

C-suite is upset because:
1) they're budgeting for office space that's going unused
2) they feel there is an injustice that their presence is required while others are not
3) they feel employees could be MORE productive if they were in the office

Analytics show that ICs and their first to second-level managers ACTUALLY perceive the OPPOSITE of (3) to be true.

(1) is what the Cs are paid for
(2) ... 🙄
