Fully agree with this post, and further think that a lot of execs have specific issues they feel from this:
- They often got into their role because of their IRL presence including:loud/aggressive voices, tall/physical imposing stature, etc.
- They like the feudal trappings of a big office with floors full of their reports, with a high end looking office, with assistants who get their coffee, etc.
Now that they're working at home, they lose their IRL advantages and perks, and it's actually a more meritocratic environment where you have to manage to metrics/plans more than walk around and catch the vibes. This penalizes bullshiters, which make up a high proportion of the executive class (speaking as one).
I tend to agree. Remote work done right encourages a data driven culture centered on documentation ( Notion, Slack as the communication hub of the company) vs meetings.
