  For companies like @OpenAI, working onsite is better. For companies like @RedHat, giving employees choice between onsite/#RemoteWork is better. For companies like @MediaScopeGroup and @Canonical, distributed teams' culture is better. There's no single model for all companies. htt…

  World: remote work is effective, improves people lives and environment, flexibility is great, productivity increases often, hire anywhere, ... Dude: it's a failed experiment. These people keep shouting to the world how bad they are and not even realizing it. https://twitter.com/.…

  I have worked for two notoriously productive startups. Both that ship at a notoriously fast pace. One was fully remote, the other was primarily remote. CEOs can talk all they want. All research shows tech talent will demand remote in the future. https://fortune.com/...

  Appreciate views of Sam Altman, Robert Thomsen, ⁦@rabois⁩ on remote work and how damaging it is for most startups (Yes will always be exceptions...) https://fortune.com/...

  How many hours does Sam Altman sit in traffic every day? This is easy for investors and CEOs to say. Harder for employees, especially moms with young kids. https://fortune.com/...

  Thank you, @OpenAI CEO @sama, for (what I hope will be) your influential thought-leadership in calling the remote work experiment “a mistake” and declaring it over. In-person collaboration helps create vibrant workplaces *and* vibrant urban neighborhoods. https://fortune.com/...

  Some real 30% sustained office vacancy rate energy to this post. Maybe if SF had built anywhere near enough housing it would have a residential community that would entice people to live and work there without being forced. https://twitter.com/...

  There's an uncomfortable truth that high-achievers, particularly progressive ones and those in tech, don't like to acknowledge: most people do not want to work very hard and they don't learn very well. They need in-person oversight. Yes, kind of like kids do. Sorry. https://twitt…

  you guys understand that many of us worked remote before March 2020 right https://twitter.com/...

  I find pro/con categorical claims about remote work pretty weak (a lot turns on firm, role, project, etc.), but more tech company founders should probably roll this absolutism into their pitch decks. The kind of people who fund companies seem to eat it up. https://fortune.com/...

  They keep saying this and yet office occupancy is still down 40% from before COVID https://twitter.com/...

  The fact is there are very few people in the world self directed enough to perform at high levels through remote work. We are, in general, quite lazy, and if our paychecks are guaranteed-we will do as little as possible to cash them. https://twitter.com/...

  While not a popular opinion, I agree with view that ‘remote work’ forever is a mistake 👇 Sam Altman says remote work ‘experiment’ was a mistake | ⁦@FortuneMagazine⁩ https://fortune.com/...

  this has “mission accomplished” vibes. remote work isn't better, it's different, and you can lean on it's tradeoffs to make collaboration better or worse. it's not for everyone or every company. and.. the pandemic was not an experiment nor a good baseline. https://twitter.com/...

  Hundreds of thousands of junior engineers now earn salaries 5x what they could ever make locally, have jobs with real growth at exciting organizations, without having to move or do things out of their reach (or what their passport or circumstances would allow). https://twitter.co…

  Lol. Sam said the quiet part out loud. Hundreds of thousands of junior staff have had their development stunted over the last three years because leaders were afraid to lead. https://fortune.com/...

  Oh joy. Someone is advocating for a return to two hours a day in traffic, with a dash of the exorbitant costs for urban living. It's like we've gotten a glimpse of what could have been and we're slowly closing our eyes to a brighter future. https://twitter.com/...

  Holy shit. How many shoes have to drop before we stop saying the AI is “artificial? These ChatGPT trainers come from Kansas and Texas. Is this why they are paid $15/h? Nice price discrimination, OpenAI. Data workers we meet in low-income countries earn 10 times less than this... …
