@Natasha_Jay Any manager that requires monitoring of their report in order to know whether that report is doing their job has no business managing that team.

@Natasha_Jay @Brad_Rosenheim That is a really interesting piece of research.
I will definitely be probing attitudes to remote work in all my job interviews now! -

@Natasha_Jay Not only that, but also those "crucial meetings" that demanded international flights, 5 star hotels and restaurants (all expenses included), now absolutely ruined by the invention of video-conference! Ah, those good old days when people with expensive suits were soooo more important than the riffraff

@Natasha_Jay A scientic research confirming what the common sense have already told us before.
I wouldn't be surprised of a similar outcome with a research on lowering the weekly working hours. -

If your boss wants you to work in the office, he/she likely is a narcissist. According to a 6-year-long study.
️Regardless of whether you actually prefer to work in the office anyway (for social reasons) … do you want to work under a narcissist?
Myself I very much like 100% home office.

@Natasha_Jay Didn't work on me. I retired rather than return to the office.

@Natasha_Jay interesting research!
...but what about someone (like me?) who just likes to see other real humans in the same real world?
I've done "home-office" looong before that even became an official term. I wouldn't object remote work (love it) - but I also feel that seeing and meeting co-workers *for real* keeps me mentally happy, more productive and I enjoy my "together in the office" days!

@Natasha_Jay I was perfectly happy going to the office before it became plague-ridden. I wasn't going to risk catching covid again.

️@p3ter @Natasha_Jay
I'm the same. But the answer to your question is easy:This says nothing about peoples own preferences, it only talks about what they demand of others. Everyone has different preferences, and we should respect that. This is about managers who don't respect that, because of their own egos.

Working from home works
UBI works
Reduced length work weeks workThere’s absolutely no reason not to transition to these models, it’s just narcissistic leaders and their boot lickers standing in the way.

@Natasha_Jay This study appears to put into words what most of us have felt for years. It's not about any measurable metric or "team building," it's all about the boss.
