The number of jobs I've missed out on and lost exclusively because I'm not normative enough to tell milquetoast jokes around a water cooler with a bunch of people I know two facts about but treat like my best friend numbers in the 100s.
Fuck all these people trying to force the old ways forever just so they can exercise their social capital upon the rest of us.
By old ways, do you mean in-person interviews and work?
Because I won't lie, I do find it easier to collaborate, focus, and communicate with my coworkers in-person, as opposed to the days I work remotely (I do a combination of in-person and work-from-home). And while I think it's unfair to be denied a job for not being sociable enough (I'm very much in the same boat), the overall idea of wanting employees who communicate with and get along with their coworkers better isn't inherently wrong.
No, he's clearly referring to the "metagame" of career building that centers primarily around making your coworkers and managers like you so that they want to give you that promotion/transfer/whatever. That game is remote work lessens that BS by making everything more about the actual work
Thanks mate. <3
Nah. It's all still happening. All your coworkers are in a discord. They just didn't invite you.
Thank God 🙏
