Absent any other details as to how Mr. Hastings has come to his conclusions I'm left wondering if

“Not being able to get together in person, particularly internationally, is a pure negative,” Mr Hastings told the Wall Street Journal.

Doesn't ACTUALLY mean "managers not being able to micromanage by proxy of physical presence is a pure negative", because in lived experience this has been at the root of much resistance to WFH in my career: managerial loss of control and influence



I'm working from home since 2014 and this is the main argument I heared when I still was employed.

Going freelancing internationally finally shut them up.


Certainly matches my experience. Panopticon at work.
