The evidence on remote work is changing

I rarely find such crap content, thanks for sharing.

It's definitely a sign that the media being pro remote working was just a consequence of them being pro lockdowns. Now that lockdowns seems to be out of fashion we need to bring the poor slaves back to the office, so that our office real estate investments won't perform so badly.

The main conclusion of this article is that police patrol dispatchers working remote are 10% less efficient. Oh and that coders need real life feedback to grow.

Great. This is not knowledge work. I never need to communicate urgently to ANYONE in order to get my job done. That would actually be deleterious as it would likely break my concentration.

Missing out on feedbacks sounds like the most ridiculous assertion ever. Software development is all about getting feedback. I'm senior and I get feedback constantly - even too much - for every pull request I open.

Plenty of useless BS too: Last week I got a "Remove translations made with ChatGPT, you need to ask permission before using ChatGPT" - TO TRANSLATE STRINGS?

This is such misleading title. First off the study is of a very specific kind of job. then it jumps all kinds of generalizations. Does really dig in to why this might be? Was it a training issue. communication specific. Were people just f*'ing off when the should have been answering calls. Does the technology support the job?

I just felt like a bunch of conclusions and generalizations are being thrown around to justify RTO.

It's all about control and the art of performing "work" so that managers can "manage". I'd rather jump off a bridge than go back to spending a 5th of my life in traffic .
