People like this is the reason we don't want to be at the office.

The problem with corporate office types is that they try to artificially build morale instead of letting it develop naturally. It NEVER works.

Remote work is foolish if the engineer is on $200k+ TC but somehow its great when its outsourced to an overseas sweatshop at $4/h 🤷‍♂

The linkedin guy is most likely one of those who inflict crazy deadlines on people, then complaints why they are unhappy at work, having slept 5 hours in a day and working for 16 hours straight, while asking "Have you finished it? Have you finished it? And now? Have you finished it??"

This has strong "you didn't break up with me, I broke up with you" vibes.

Remote work is a great thing. People use that extra time to plan healthier meals, exercise, and read, not just to relax and play videogames I don't see how more people spending 30 minutes to 3 hours per day inside their car helps the economy in any way

All of this reminded me of a joke. It's originally from German and about engineers in general, but I think it still works (and yes, I translated this): A man in a hot air balloon is lost. The balloon is descending and spots a man on the ground. The balloon driver yells: "Sorry, can you please help me? I promised to meet a friend an hour ago but I don't know where I am." The man on the ground answered: "You are in a hot air balloon about 10 metres above ground. You are 49 degree, 28 minutes and 11 seconds northern latitude and 8 degree, 28 minutes and 58 seconds eastern longitude." "You must be an engineer", said the balloon driver. "I am", said the man on the ground, "how do you know?" "Well", says the balloon driver, "everything you said is technically accurate, but I have no idea what to do with this information. And the fact is, I still have no idea, where I am. To be honest, you weren't of any help. If anything you just delayed my travel further." The engineer answers: "You must work in management." "Yes", says the balloon driver", "but how do you know?" "Well", says the engineer, "you know neither where you are nor where you are going. You got into your position thanks to a lot of hot air. You made a promise, of which you have no idea how to keep it, and except of people below you to solve your problems for you. Fact is, that you are in the same situation before our meeting, but strangely I am now somehow of fault!"

You offer remote work to your developers because of flexibility and productivity benefits. I offer remote work for my developers because I can't stand being in the same building that them. We are not the same
