> It’s time we stopped pretending that WFH is appropriate for everyone. It needs to be selectively applied if we don’t want the abusers to become bad apples that ruin the whole concept.

I don’t think that’s a conversation anyone is ready to have. People (online) either dogmatically believe WFH is perfect and without issue and anything by bad is someone/something else’s fault, or is exactly what’s in the first quote in the article (e.g. it’s completely awful and everyone is a lazy slacker if I can’t look over their shoulder).

I keep wondering what it’s going to take to have a real conversation about how, for instance, WFH is terrible for my data team, but fantastic for my engineers and that that’s ok and not, on either side, an organizational or leadership failure. Judging by this post, it won’t be any time soon.
