Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.

Feels like "serendipity and innovation" just means it makes it so much harder for management to steal ideas from overheard conversations and pass off as their own when everybody is remote and has a paper trail. Not to mention everybody was sitting there with noise canceling headphones anyway by the time corona hit.
For me it's still weird how a workforce tired and cranky from wrestling traffic is equated with a motivated and productive one. The first hour at the office was always just coffee, gossip and staring at the screen. Very productive indeed.
Three major changes in the way we work was the "open office space", the "activity based desk" and now the "work from home".
The first two had major negative impact on productivity and were hated by the workers. WFH had no conclusive impact on productivity, up or down, and were generally loved by workers.
Guess which one they're getting rid of.
There is the belief in management that if a worker is having fun, they are not productive and vice versa. In reality workers find themselves in the twilight between the two: neither having fun nor being productive.
