We are supposed to work from home two days a week, but we must sign an agreement that it will be such and such day. Or we can have one single moving day. Can you smell the bullshit? In practice I never signed anything and we all do as we fucking please because fuck HR. So right now I’m in the office alone because it’s great to have a big desk and good light with a beautiful sight on the countryside, and I get free heating.

But yeah, we have a few contractors right now and we have no idea what they are doing or if they are useful at all. Which would be fine, except when we do get to see their work, it’s usually all over the place in terms of quality and we often have to rewrite a lot of it.

But that’s not an issue with remote, that’s an issue with managing people, I think. If they’re shite at their job and we gave them one, we have to teach them to get better. Which is easier and more efficient on site, sure, but you can’t really be sitting next to them checking their screen all day. At some point you gotta trust them and judge them on results.
