Workers quitting over return-to-office policies

There’s no law of physics saying that a company cannot delegate decision–making authority to individual employees. If your employer doesn’t let you make that kind of decision, then that is a social problem rather than a physical one.

Note that I have not said that an individual employee can decide how their employer does business, only that your development processes can be arranged so that they do not require low–latency in–person meetings between employees. You can do your business with or without any overlap in working hours between employees that interact with each other; the overlap is not required.

I am not saying it is impossible, I am saying it is slower. Maybe that is a worthwhile tradeoff for you, but at least to me, in this particular scenario, it is not. It would be a frustrating process. I do generally hold a favorable view towards remote work, but if I can not get you on the phone at all, that makes your work less valuable to me.
