Google is accelerating reopening of offices and putting limits on remote work
When will introverts realise that their working conditions are being dictated to them by extroverts? The pandemic-driven remote working is <i>hell</i> for some people, and unfortunately they call the shots.<p>I don’t mind coming into your office now and again (there’s a special dimension to IRL connections), but the reason I don’t want to work there full time is that it’s crap for knowledge work. I outspend you by 10x per head in my home office, and everything there is to my exact specification. The whole field of modern office design should be a discredited pseudoscience; management is addicted to it because of the real estate crisis though.<p>This is also kind of terrible, because a lot of people use FAANG as their North star for every policy decision.<p>“Well Google use primary colours in <i>their</i> logo, Brian”
