The really dumb thing is that my boss has the longest commute of all of us, and he's been overseas for the last 2 weeks for his mother's funeral, but as a workaholic, he's still been working fine. I do wonder at the dissonance of "you can't work from home because it would be bad for productivity, even though I m working from 7 time zones away with no problem".

Mental inertia in the people running it.

My job can be almost entirely done on computer, from anywhere. I could literally go in like 2 mornings a week. Some of my colleagues are 100% digital.

Boss still has a "work from home doesn't work for me" philosophy. But he's also got the old mindset of "I value the time, not the work". If I go in, do all my work in 34 hours, and I spend the last hour chatting (one hour spread across a week), he'll complain about it.

It's something that will change, but in a lot of cases it's going to require senior management aging out of the workforce.

Yeah, the dancing was like “wait, am I missing something?”.

Still, probably gonna go see it.

I would have gotten ex machina vibes last week.

Now… all I can see is the trailer for Megan.
