I hope remote work is banned by law sometime soon.
It's utterly dreadful for everyone involved - the worker(unless they are slackers and have no problems being unproductive while getting paid), the co-workers, customers, society.
You mean, as opposed to office-work 8 hours a day, where it's extremely common to hear people talk about browsing Facebook and other social media a lot of the time because there's not enough cognitive capacity to be working the full 8 hours? Or, often enough, just not enough work?
> co-workers
I'm assuming you view it as bad for coworkers because they can't just get up and interrupt you at any time they need something from you; for me, that's a feature, not a bug. Asynchronous communication allows you to have an uninterrupted productive streak without worrying someone's going to need something that really isn't that urgent.
> customers, society.
I'm at a loss for those, though. Why would it be bad for customers and society?
