One thing this whole "remote work" is missing is if you don& #39;t have good standards of management & reasonable levels of trust your team that barely functions in an office will fully disintegrate when they aren& #39;t faced with regular reminders of each other& #39;s existence and humanity.

Like this Facebook "high performer" thing is a blunt implement likely to be used against women and PoC, sure. But also a lot of what they are doing seems like a way to maintain some level of control and accountability. Why do they need to do that?

I haven& #39;t heard Facebook held up as a particularly great engineering culture or well delivering organization. They& #39;ve just been on a good enough trajectory to bandaid a lot of things. The fancy offices were probably a big part of that bandaid. Well, the band aid is gone now.
