Comment on ChatGPT-maker Sam Altman says era of remote work is over

Comments

Why should I believe someone stating the era of remote work is over if they were not even born when the era began?

I would say that the experiment on that is over, and the technology is not yet good enough that people can be full remote forever, particularly on startups.

Back-to-office also helps management sleep better at night. Less risk of an employee getting paid for more work than they did. Or leaving value on the table because of a missed water cooler convo. Probably. It sounds good, at least. To management.

If a company is seeing poor results with WFH, it makes you wonder if there might not be a management problem.

God forbid someone should "get paid for more work than they did," says billionaire capitalist who makes money on other people's labor.

Yes but that’s different.

The billionaire definitely did it on purpose.
