As someone who leads a team in tech this is maddening. There are days for me that I personally like being in the office, but tech 100% has no issues embracing remote work.
I’ve seen more leadership just not able to grasp the fact they have to embrace technology to communicate, as opposed to walking over to someone’s sunlight isolated desk cube.
I actually think most “deep work” gets done best in some form of isolation, be it remote work or in a dedicated office. For most people I know in tech, their home days are their productivity days.
100% agree with this. If I have to do project planning sessions or something with more collaboration then fine the office is good for that. This is mainly because I do actually hate Zoom,Webex, etc with a passion. Majority of my communication can and does occur via messaging (instant) and email.
For me isolation means more focus time. I have worked with enough leadership, that unfortunately views it the opposite.
Yeah. I feel like “tech” in the article refers to the management and C-level people, not the developers, designers, engineers et al. who actually do the work and who would, on average, probably prefer the option to work remotely.
Any chance you, or anyone really, could provide the article behind the paywall?

Unless Slack gets in the way.

There’s a bypass paywalls extension for Librewolf or Firefox if you’re on desktop.
Is there a specific one that you use/recommend for Firefox?
Not sure which one I originally installed as it may have been removed from the add ons section, but this looks like it. bypass paywalls
