Purely imaginary. Besides being too random to be useful, those "meetings" are about family, dogs, and favourite comedies. Business interaction is often better facilitated with electronic communication (see your #3). 2. Purely imaginary. You cannot "see" much of anything. A manager's job is to get results, not to baby-sit (monitor) their team. If the manager hires people who need to be constantly supervised, well then, that's on the manager. 3. Agreed. Every office I've worked in was apparently designed to prevent me from concentrating on anything. I'm far, far more productive in my quiet, distraction-free home office. I also liked going to the office (mostly), and seeing everyone. But I was able to actually work maybe 50% of the time there. sas On Thu, May 25, 2017 at 2:57 AM, Radoslaw Skorupka < [email protected]> wrote: > Well, it is not my company, so let's leave the decision to the owners > and managers they hired. > > However if it was my company I would demand to be present in the office. > Some well justified exceptions apply, but mostly temporarily, and > everytime final decision would belong to managers, not employees. > > Reasons? > 1.
