This is clown shit. It contains a lot of unevidenced assertions and highly dubious ideas it takes as obvious.
I do high-level cognitive work. I design complex networks and cloud architectures. I am not at all able to be productive when gladhanding MBAs drop by my desk every 15 minutes to talk about sports teams I donโt care one little fucking bit about.
Back when I was forced to work in an office, Iโd sit there all day and do basically nothing because there were way too many distractions to think. Then Iโd go home and do my real work for 4-5 hours every night. Alas, I did this for many years. I refuse to do this ever, ever again. I will never take an office job again. Not fucking ever.
I am 2-3x as productive in work time spent at home. Sometimes more. Iโd warrant most people are too, unless they are those gladhanding MBAs. Itโs no surprise really that the very least productive people are forcing RTO because most of their status and advancement is based on office politics and throwing others under the bus rather than actually achieving anything.
