Preparing for the “I don’t get to work remotely so neither should you” crowd. I’m sure they’re coming to shill for big business.
Managers hate work remotely. Less opportunity to micromanage employees to prove their own worth.
Managers who's style is "strictly control every facet in your charges' day" shouldn't be managers.
Also....I don't get to work from home, so no other Stone Mason should! Is what I'd say if I wasn't actively working on my house evenings and weekends....
Au contraire. I'm a manager who enjoys work remotely. I don't give a shit what my team is doing or where they are doing it from, or when, or whatever. As long as they are comfortable.
The formula is something like: People's comfort x Shit gets done + my bosses are satisfied at shit getting done so they leave me the fuck alone= happy me.
I'd argue some managers shouldn't be able to work 100% remotely. At least in sectors where the people they're managing can't. I work in a job that has to be on location (not an office). On the one hand I don't want them on location because they just get In the way, but on the other hand they're so out of touch with reality because they don't ever talk to us or our customers.
That seems like poor management rather than a symptom of remote work. A good manager would still communicate with you and your customers and familiarize themselves with the work they're managing despite not being in person.
That's fair, I suppose as someone not familiar with either it's easy to confuse offsite with remote work.
I actually don't disagree with you. I'm a big proponent of do as I do, not rules for thee but not for me. Oh gosh do I hate rules for thee, but not for me. Grrrrr it boils my blood.
