...feeling bad for anyone named Jones...thanks for the reflective questions, incredible useful work reflection exercise also...i have a bud who is forced to clock-in at a big tech company (cough cough apple cough cough) and with commute taking 3+ hours a day he is losing productivity for him and his team at what appears to be just a tax break measure for the company...that makes sense for a ship at that scale i guess, but i do feel the future is far more likely to work fractured than pressing keycards to buttons on buildings...
CansaFis! Thanks for reading, so glad you found the questions useful! And wow yes, that sounds like a significant overhead in exchange for a tax break... If I may, my prediction after building remote, co-located and hybrid teams for the past 15+ years is that the future is simply better work, which means where one works from shall be largely irrelevant. I unpacked here in case you want to check it out: https://laviniaiosub.substack.com/p/should-we-go-back-to-the-office-or
"And isn't this essay a beautiful thing?" I especially loved this, Lavinia: "There is, of course, still a lot of unlearning to do to disconnect location and time from contribution, motivation, and value." So true!
