With all of the accusations of posts being bots, I began to think of my over posting and decided to just group together stuff I found that correlate with each other. I've mostly run into stuff about jobs and remote work, so here we go.
First up, managers believe people who work in an office work better because they are being monitored.
This follows up with the second article, people seeking jobs and jobs being offered have shown a decline in remote work. It doesn't really show much because the remote workers want a desk at random times away from their house.
However, the third article shows that the bosses and workers may just be using weaponized incompetence. This is where someone feigns incompetence so others will do their work. Bosses use that to have underlings work harder.
At the same time, AI and automation is taking away jobs quickly. If there are no workers there is no need for a boss. All we need now is a brain computer, which is my last article.
Agreed.
Hard disagree. Coding in an IT environment has been a been my focus in the industry for the last couple of years and I'll tell you straight up it is way easier to get customer requirements hammered out and keep people in the loop when you're working in-person. In my personal experience projects progress way smoother and more successfully when working on-site. Can the work be done off-site? Yes. Do I expect the same quality of work when everyone's isolated and disconnected and not having regular human contact? Absolutely not.
I butt heads with a lot of people in my industry on this but I don't think fully remote work is a good thing.
Certainly fair. My personal experience with coding is some freelance database population way back.
