And the reason is we haven't been very good about performance management in most organizations anyway.
That is, being very clear about what we want people to do and
measuring who's done a good job or not.
If you are around people all the time and you see them in the office and they're there late, it's easy to assume they must be doing a good job.
If you never see them, you really can only assess based on the quality of their work and, you know, you don't really know
always what went into making that happen, how hard they had to work in order to get that outcome, or quirky things that happened that got in the way of what seemed to be a simple task.
So you're at a bit of a disadvantage in trying to persuade your boss that, you know, you're really doing a good job if your boss doesn't see you.
But I think even more so, you're out of the loop in terms of seeing opportunities for advancement.
And that doesn't mean
you know, jobs and promotions, it might mean seeing an opportunity to really get your face in front of the decision makers or to solve a problem that really needs to be solved that other people jump on first because you didn't know about it.
So I think it's pretty clear that if you really, really want promotions, choosing to stay out of the office is not the way to go.
You know, the reason to work remotely for most people is because they don't want to commute, which is certainly reasonable.
And they also want to be able to do things when they're not having to be right at their desk.
You know, I want to move out in the country because it's pretty and I want to have horses and that kind of stuff.
But if it turns out that my employer is investing a lot of money now in spyware, what they often call tattleware now, which is basically watching me all the time online, then
And if you're not at your desk, the spyware knows it.
Well, if you're going to be working from home, but you have to sit at your desk the whole time, it kind of defeats the purpose of the flexibility that you wanted from being home in the first place, right?
So that you have to be a caregiver, for example, and you've got little kids at home.
When they need something, they need it right then, and
They might need it for a half hour and you want to be able to jump off your desk and go over there.
