"where you are replaceable, transactional human resource, using other humans transactionally as resources"
So in your view, remote work is saying the quiet part out loud.
Great, now we can drop the charade. Except now, remote workers get some modicum of enjoyment from the transaction. At the expense of "culture", "where in this together", and "when you're here, you're family". (Do gorillas deliver Olive Garden?)
- RamblingCTO 4y agoYou skipped the part about "I have a problem with the fact that a remote person doesn't feel as close to me as someone working in the same office a few days a week", pretty convenient huh? I take issue in treating people like human resources and replaceable, transactional things. Gorillas is German and delivers groceries, so am I. So I guess a lot of this thread is due to shitty US culture. That's your problem, not mine.
- bzudo 4y ago"I have no feeling nor connection towards those remote employees." Fun fact: You can engage with remote employees with the click of a button. Convenient indeed!
- RamblingCTO 4y agoMy point is that it's not the same. To be honest, as I see how you argument, I would just waste my time trying to argue for the case that digital and physical time are not the same and creating socializing opportunities like in the office is quite hard.
