By Philippe Perez

Not tempting in any way whatsoever. No, not at all.

“Jamie Dimon is unequivocal about the impact of #RemoteWorking on #training new bankers. “It doesn’t work in our business,” the chief executive of JPMorgan Chase told Stanford’s Graduate School of Business this year.
“Younger people [are] left behind.”
He has previously spoken of the importance of “the #apprenticeship model . . . which is almost impossible to replicate in the #Zoom world”.
In many #workplaces, that #ApprenticeshipModel is as simple as sitting near a more experienced #colleague or joining a #client meeting to watch how it is done, while also *learning the ropes* by taking on often more #repetitive and #basic #tasks.
But #OnTheJob learning is now facing the double threat of #HybridWorking, which means #JuniorStaff spend less time #observing and #listening to more senior #colleagues, and #GenerativeAI, which is making #obsolete many of the routine tasks that have long been building blocks of #ProfessionalKnowledge.”

This article about return to work mandates is ridiculous and biased - they interview bosses who say that they have "a nagging feeling" that remote working isn't effective and is "not doing proper work", i.e. zero evidence basis.
It would be like me saying that I'm more productive when I'm 100% remote (which I am), therefore no one should go into the office.
As a remote worker I get to do a lot of video meetings. Am I the only person who finds the long ones tiring? The degree of concentration needed compared to an in-person meeting is so much higher. Just spent two hours solid, now I’m good for nothing. Time for a short break.
I found it interesting in this article that most employers think their staff are more productive when physically in the office. But my own experience, and that of others I've spoken to, is that staff feel they are more productive WFH.

Also: It's typically *more expensive to the worker* to maintain their #RemoteWorking space.
They pay rent / mortgage on a space used primarily to benefit their employer. They have to pay for internet service during hours primarily to benefit their employer. They have to cater, to clean, to maintain the space, etc. at their own expense. All of this the worker is providing.
I argue there should be #WorkerCompensation *for working remotely*, in a lot of cases.
That employers balk at this expenses-based idea, shows that they care less about operating cost for remote work, and much more about control and #surveillance over the worker.
My office is NOW complete
It was the annual Code Enigma "Away Week" last week, in the beautiful countryside surrounding Girona in Spain. Great time had by all, some nice tech sessions, company retrospective and no small amount of playtime, thanks to the massive games room! 
It was great to have all the team together again.
Photo featuring @greg_harvey, @galooph, @philipnorton42, @luis, @matason and many more we haven't yet brow-beaten into joining a #Mastodon instance. 
It seems like everyone wants to convert office space to something else since COVID. 
How i wish companies that say they are remote, or that have openings for remote jobs would explicitly say if they are remote *everywhere*, or at least say in which region/countries, or only remote in the US 
I work from home, and when we have video calls, nobody ever has their cameras on, so this is how I imagine my coworkers.
