- Brown nosers who have minimal competence but get ahead by doing anything but their job
- Coworkers who play politics based on shoulder surfing others
- Coworkers getting bullied and isolated because they don't do face to face social crap well enough to get in with right "office gang" as I call them.
- Having to look busy and do busy work so you don't look unproductive even though you are
- For big companies: coworkers in remote offices and different time zones don't get the same career opportunities because they can't be face to face with the right people
- Huge one for me: Having to tolerate bullshit political debate and tasteless jokes in the background (open office) and even forced participation when I just want to do my job without hearing about freaking trump or biden and shit or who random people like to have sex with and how!
I don't get it. I mean I would think the legal people would be all for remote working just because of the liability it removes.
It sure us a theatre except most participants play the role of a third rate congressman or think the story is about prison life/gangs.
I admit to exaggerating a bit on some points but I am confident that if you just want people to do office work and be productive, remote work is the best way. If you can't then either you are managing wrong or you have a lot of people whose only skill was office politics and theatrics who don't know how to bullshit remotely. I think "the great reshuffling" might be triggered largley by that. A lot of bullshitters like that can do great in roles where face to face manipulation is useful for example.
