CEO video: back to the office now, or else

The incredibly disingenuous tact of filming in front of a green screen made me think nothing both. If being in the office was so important, why weren’t they actually in theirs?

Seems they already did, making such decision and video did not come from talents.

We need this second little revolution for a better work life balance.

They're firing people without giving them severance. That's all this is, theater to say they didn't technically fire them and that they quit.

I've worked in two open offices and, yeah, I largely hated it. One was just to enable micromanagement and prevent you from taking any breaks. The other was the opposite, in a very small company, having far too many distractions from music to complete nonsense conversations.

I've now moved to a fully remote role and we get far more done. No distractions and a tidy environment (my home) to think. The "random interactions" occur in group chats and the odd meet-up. Mixing the right people is sufficient and the setting is largely irrelevant.
