It’s absolutely all being done on vibes. The execs don’t have some super-secret productivity dashboard giving them a breakdown of employee output by work location. Maybe, if they’re really on the ball, they have employee profit contributions divided by that, but that would then immediately show all the support staff as unproductive.

I agree that a lot of smaller companies would do it on vibes. I don't think Microsoft would.

Based on what? Why do you trust Microsoft’s judgment here? They are fallible like anyone else.

You are talking about a company that shipped Windows 8.
