Wasn’t there a study done that showed that remote workers are more productive?
Many. Also his first point is why remote workers would be able to attend the meeting more often, making "iteration" faster. His second point doesn't make any sense either. People don't do their jobs for sheer fun. They do it for a paycheck. Yet people actually got more work done while at home more often than not because less distractions from coworkers and stupid in person meetings. Plus some would go eat dinner, and then say 'im going to go finish this so I don't have to deal with it tomorrow". Which only benefits the company.
I actually agree about his points 1 and 2, and I also think remote work is still more productive.
When I worked remote, I worked for 4 hours and then chilled for 4 hours.
It's boring as fuck to be alone in a room working 8 hours. I just walked around, drank some coffee, scrolled my phone. Basically when I achieved something that was decently enough to call a day's work, then I just chilled. Just how I am.
I feel a lot more job secure when I work in office.
