Christian Nellemann • 3rd+ Entrepreneur, Founder of XLN, Non Exec, Investor, Mentor and Advisor. 2h⚫ Don't let WFH ruin your life and career. It is now very clear that if you work from home, your career is effectively over. Follow You are not visible in the workplace, you are not improving your work-related skills, you are not learning from more senior people about how to navigate and operate within a company. And so your value to a business has stalled. You are never going to get promoted and your job has become nothing more than an hourly output per pound equation. Of course that might suit you if you are in your 50s and just want to earn a bit of money on the side and get a better work-life balance. But if you are in your 20s and 30s, WFH is the absolute death knell for your career. Just as devastatingly, WFH means that your personal development as a human being has effectively stalled too. If you are not spending time around people at work, you lose the ability to connect, to interact and to learn from them. That will cause you to go into a decline and you will become increasingly isolated and introverted, and probably gain a lot of weight. That's great for pharmaceutical companies, who will happily sell you all kinds of weight loss products and anti- depressants. But it is terrible for you as a person. Humans are pack animals. We need connection with other people, and we thrive on each other's enthusiasm, ideas, positivity, and interaction. The creativity and productivity that a team of people can generate compared to someone working on their own is off the scale. It is one plus one equals five. I understand all the arguments against commuting to work. It is boring and laborious and you would much rather spend that time eating chicken nuggets and watching Netflix. I get that. I also understand that some businesses have a toxic work environment. But that is not an excuse to hide away at home – just find yourself another job. For your own sake, please stop thinking that work from home is a good idea, because it is the exact opposite. It is quite literally the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone. And if you don't stop doing it now, one day you will deeply regret it.

Coltin Caverhill • 3rd+ Engineering Manager at Yelp 4d. • + Follow Managers, be very careful what you say to your engineers! I commented in a slack thread. It was a simple comment of "I wish we had feature X". I thought I was being fun. I thought it would get emoji responses and we would move on. The engineers solved it. Do you know how much we pay Software Engineers!? I did not mean for them to work on this thing and solve my issue. But they wanted to make things better, and if the manager points out an issue, they felt like it should be solved. This was not a big deal, and not a ton of time was spent, but it was a good reminder for me that I am not an engineer, I am a manager. And while that title is mostly meaningless to me, it means something to others. What I say magically holds more gravity not because of the merit of the statement, because of the title I hold. By not being mindful about what I share in our public channels, I led my team to spend time on the wrong thing. CO 2,345 297 comments • 52 reposts
OPENTOWORK Jason Roeder. 3rd+ Copywriter/Comedy Writer/Editor/... 1w. + Follow I immediately remove my shoes and socks upon entering any interview. Why do I do this? If they say nothing, I know they will not enforce even the most fundamental dress code. I cannot work in such chaos. If they tell me to put them back on, I know conformity reigns in this workplace, and my creativity will suffer. I cannot work there. If they tell me to put one sock and shoe on, I know they value balance and compromise. Only then will I work there.
