In fact, they spent a lot of their time on ~~slash dot~~ ~~Reddit~~ hacker news!

:o those lazy slackers

I guess the point is to not work only one job at a time

Yeah being in office doesn't make it any less difficult to scroll through Reddit.

It definitely does. The only thing that can prevent me from slacking off is knowing my screen is visible to other people.

In your office, don't you have any desks where your back is covered?

Yes it does. Working in the office necessarily forces you to structure your work in time and space.

You do know you're just parroting RTO thought leadership propaganda, right? The phrasing of structuring your work "in time and space" is rather unique and comes most recently from business thinkfluencers trying sell RTO as "new paradigm at the workplace."

The real point underpinning the CEO ball fondling is strategies for creating structure for people that need it originally assembled for students working async and remote. Moving between spaces can create structure, putting on a "uniform" creates structure, having blocks of time planned out ahead creates structure, having small incremental goals creates structure, having blocks of work with regular check-ins (cards/standup) creates structure. Like it's just your standard ADHD time/focus management but pretending that these two specific things are best for everyone.

Sorry, I've never read a "business thinkfluencer" in my life. Wouldn't even know where to find one.

The undeniable fact is that people want "work from home" because they have serious issues following schedules and making plans. (Of course working from home only sweeps the problem under the carpet and creates bigger problems down the road.)

Yes, these cats need to be herded. They can't self-organize. Also, the methods of herding cats are well-known since time immemorial, just ask any kindergarten teacher.

P.S. You, of course, are a Cool Cat and different from all the other cats. Don't need to reply.

>The undeniable fact is that people want "work from home" because they have serious issues following schedules and making plans.

Of course it has nothing to do with avoiding potentially multi-hour long commutes.

Congratulations, this is the most confidently incorrect set of statements I've read on the internet this week.

I pity people who'd have to work under you. Sheesh.

This person has recently said that "solar panels are an ecological disaster", that "breathing is detrimental to health" because "oxygen is toxic and literal poison" and that "world war 3 started in 2010" so this is actually pretty tame in relative terms.

It's obviously an issue of ratio and degree. You're just saying anything that comes to mind to support your position instead of recognizing any nuance.

Yeah... CEOs. Most of them don't work.

This is unhelpful and low-effort and not in alignment with out guidelines. There's almost never a reason to submit a one line snark comment.

Unfortunately they make all the decisions so the first thing they replace with AI is going to be the workers.

I understand the snark, but it is really unhelpful. I guarantee that your company would ceases to function without these roles.
