At least 10 times a day, Erika Becker, who works as a sales development manager at a technology company called Verkada, turns to her boss with questions. “Did I handle that correctly?” she asks. “What could I have done better?”
“It’s like if there’s something in my teeth, I want you to tell me,” she said. “Because I want to move up in my career.”
"I literally NEED to be micromanaged every second of my day or else I'll never become a useless parasitic middle manager!!!" :maybe-later-kiddo:
The economists [...] found that remote work enhanced the productivity of senior engineers, but it also reduced the amount of feedback that junior engineers received (in the form of comments on their code), and some of the junior engineers were more likely to quit the firm.

"Damn, misogyny and elitism are a real problem in our workplace...and this is totally because our wage slaves aren't within the panopticon at all times! It's totally not structural or organizational or economic mode issues at all!" :liberalism:

Is there anybody arguing there's no value to in person workplaces? Yeah, it's obviously more efficient for training or other activities that require extremely frequent communication/cooperation.

Yeah there is absolutely nothing wrong with like super-low frequency hybrid where you meet once or twice a month in order to literally humanize your coworkers and have a little wider collaboration than you would day to day, but yeah, that's not what these fucking losers are asking for
