I’ve never been to the office. At least not since around 2013 and half as many positions.
Best team I ever worked on was remote right after that. Best people all over the country, doing relatively independent subprojects. Hanging out as needed.
I’m not upset about 2020. It made sense, and welcome! It’s just a shame for that model. It stopped working for management when that model had to accommodate everyone.
Suddenly I was under as much suspicion as anyone. It affected my performance a lot. Took away a lot of the benefits for a senior ADHD type to be able to punch above weight.
Oh well? I try to say so, but it hurt my career and focus substantially.
No one’s fault besides (maybe) insecure executives and my inability to adapt quickly.
