Google mandates workers back to Silicon Valley, other offices from April 4
I think anyone who&#x27;s claiming that remote work has been &quot;proven&quot; to be better or worse is wrong. There are some studies but they use estimations and proxies, carrying the same flaws as doing performance reviews based on lines of code.<p>We&#x27;ve proven that the big tech companies can go fully remote and not completely crash and burn, that&#x27;s about it. Some people love the lack of commute and less semi-forced hanging out, some people hate onboarding on a new company as a remote person and so on and so on.<p>I personally prefer a company where everyone&#x27;s on site. I want to be able to quickly resolve any issues in person, not over voice call or slack, and I think that an environment where someone can tap me on the shoulder when they need help leads to overall higher productivity, even if individual productivity suffers temporarily.
