[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like - why? If someone is in a meeting on zoom or in a meeting in a room, who cares? Let people do what they want
I'd 1000% rather have someone good who lives 50m away and doesn't want to commute but hits it hard for 9h a day than someone who doesn't mind schlepping in to be 'in person' and doesn't add that much value. 
Like - why force ppl to be in your presence if they dont want to? Technology makes this unnecessary. So weirdly controlling and small minded to me. sure sometimes ppl get together in person but not needed every day. 
we used to use pay phones on the street but now we have cells and we dont need to. same applies here.

It's the "hits it hard for 9 hours a day" part that is bullshit.[/quote]

It's bullshit in the office or at home. No one can really give 100% for a sustained 9 hours.[/quote]

Plus, it's focusing on the wrong thing.  How are productivity levels?  Are they the same (or better) for WFH than in-office?  That should be easily measured.

Unless what you actually care about is whether people are clocking minutes as opposed to actually doing their jobs.[/quote]

NP and my takeaway from all of this is that a lot companies seem to not have good procedures in place to measure productivity or maybe the managers are just lazy and don't want to spend the time to figure out who is actually doing work.[/quote]

DING DING DING, and [i]that [/i]is what we should be focusing on.  Not forcing people back into the office when it doesn't make sense to do so just because we don't like it when other people are happier.[/quote]
