This!! 100%Your lack of self control does not map to everybody else.
I am more productive and put more work in since WFH than prior. The metrics are also tracked more closely at my company. The key is, I don’t constantly get interrupted by people stopping by for a chat. And I don’t mind putting in the occasional extra half or full hour of work now and then, because previously I was spending two hours EVERY day in my car.
I’m also much more rested and comfortable given I am now able to craft my own physical working environment.
I work in a big tech company that went remote and I can definitely tell you that our productivity went down massively. Even after our infrastructure was tuned in to support this, we’re not close to precovid levels of productivity. There’s also a big time loss of collaboration and team building. It’s doable sure but at the lack of similar output. People are getting paid more to produce less right now, while in their PJs.
This. Couldn’t agree more.Your lack of self control does not map to everybody else.

Homekit integration of course. There is an app for that.Cool. How does Starbucks make your drinks?
Absolutely no reason for anyone to work in the office. Zoom/Teams is perfectly fine, and likely more efficient than being in an office. I mean, you at least save the hour or 2 you waste commuting every day.
Zoom/Teams are good enough for many, but not for always. With everybody working from home almost 100% of the time, creativity is often suffering. The question is what balance to strike. Also, the balance will not be the same for every role and for every person.Absolutely no reason for anyone to work in the office.

Agreed. I understand that companies need employees to return and there be some pushback. After all, a taste of the work-from-home freedom is hard to give up. But some employees are downright abusing the system.It’s a free country. Everybody can leave if they feel they’ll be treated better somewhere else…
Please speak only for yourself. You cannot generalize this - like anything else.You're not a divorce counselor to work from home. You work at a company that builds products, some are life-changing products, products that require maximum focus, productivity, discipline, quality check, again and again. At-home productivity will never equal at-work productivity. At-home discipline will never equal at-school discipline.
Just like you'd never be comfortable with a home-schooled heart surgeon; or get on a rocket built by engineers who worked from home.
Anyway, that said, good riddance to him. There are no irreplaceable people.
Apple, the modern company. Not.Apple will lose top talent to competitors because of this.
Apparently prioritising your family and your wellbeing is childish while imposing unnecessary stress and lowering your employees' quality of life is reasonable and matureTo quit over this is unreasonable and mildly childish.

I would not pay zoomers to manage my top secret projects on platforms controlled by my competitors who already are known to hack data streams for data. If these people can’t hang I would adjust salaries for people who support my vision and draw people who match my needs. There are thousands of people who would love a chance to work at Apple.Absolutely no reason for anyone to work in the office.
