       All the major Baltimore area school districts are back in session this week (many went back last week) and the morning traffic is just awful – particularly on 695. Traffic feels like it is as bad or worse than before COVID. My intuition is that much of this is down to many employers – public and private – requiring employees to return to the office at least 2-3 days per week. What a colossal policy failure and clusterfuck.

       Despite what managers and executives say, there is no evidence that compelling workers to go to an office leads to more productivity or efficiency than allowing employees to work from home. Indeed, my anecdotal experience and that of most people I know is just the opposite: it is markedly more easy to get stuff done working from home than working in an office.

       @MadMadMadMadRN It's much harder for employers to monitor (micromanage) their employees, though, and that's a problem for managers. If employees work from home, what need is there for managers?

       @bruce @MadMadMadMadRN And think of all that useless... I mean... expensive Corporate Space TM (How are they to make money on their offices if no one at those offices...🤑 🤔)

       My wife recently switched jobs. Her former job was 100% work from home while her new job allows only one full day or two half-days of WFH per week. One of the first things my wife said after starting her new position is that she forgot how difficult it is to concentrate and get things done in ab office due to the constant noise and interruptions. She feels like she gets substantially less done at her new job than. Her old one.
