Albert Einstein went to his office just so he could walk home with Kurt Gödel

That's more like good mentoring, which doesn't always depend on being in the office. A year ago I left a shitty toxic office job where there was no such thing as mentoring.

Feels like quality mentoring is a lost art, especially amongst the industry of today of younger generation of workers and companies, where the average tenure in the company was around 2-3 years, nobody bothered with training since you'd be gone soon or they'd loose the guy who loved teaching others.

Everything now is "just look it up on the (outdated) Wiki or figure it out on your own"

I agree, I worked from home and got pretty good mentoring programming-wise. Especially because I could also record everything he'd say or do.

But you missed the point of the post entirely. He said that going to the office helps create those situations. We all know it’s about mentoring. Perhaps the toxic one in your office was you, judging by the fact you seem to want to be right all the time.

Can I ask WTF is wrong with you that you need to jump to such accusations and personal attacks?

If teaching people can be completed at a space time during work, I can understand why it happens more frequently in office.
