    I’m with you on this one, 100%.

    Why else would some low level manager be so stupidly paranoid about whatever you do, if you get your work done?

    Control and fear of losing it.

      Software engineering manager here. My team went full remote and it is amazing. We get more done than we did in office.

      I love cycling laundry or running the dishwasher in the middle of the day. It doesn’t affect the amount of work I or my team gets done.

      I really only have two rules. 1) Attend and participate in your meetings. 2) We deliver what we committed to at the beginning of sprint.

      Otherwise I don’t care when the work gets done. I am pretty sure one of my devs writes his code between 9 PM and midnight.

        So … are you hiring 😁

        Jk, I have a nice job where people actually (like you) trust people. I mean I’d put in an extra mile just because of that.

        And mixing work with home chores, naps, whatever is so good, both for me and for my productivity.
