Re: ...and as We Are Focused on "Digital Transformation"....
@Joe, I feel that on a personal level. I work 60+ hours a week and take care of the kids and cook supper and clean the house, but I still get the, "You didn't vacuum?" It's semi-tongue-in-cheek, but I also joke that she thinks I sit around watching Ellen and eating Bon Bons all day.

Re: ...and as We Are Focused on "Digital Transformation"....
Joe,

Found a roundup article with links to several studies (naturally I couldn't find it last night when I wanted to).  There's something of a battle between "offices=interaction=creativity" and "office=death" that's been raging for a few years.  For a good roundup on the former, see https://www.laserfiche.com/simplicity/turns-working-office-benefits/

One of the big gurus for "so go to the office already and stop living in your pajamas, will ya?" viewpoint is Dr. Keith Sawyer. He has a book or two out and gts quoted a great deal.

@Ariella was this, by chance, a position in academia? I think academia has the most most mysterious hiring practices. Universities follow all the right rules on paper, but plenty of unqualified people end up in powerful positions even though they continually show they do not belong there. It's perplexing.

@elizabethv: I sympathize with your husband. One of the other problems of taking work-from-home days -- when your partner comes home from work and complains that not every single chore is done perfectly because "you were home all day!"

Of course, I'm sure you're not like that. ;)

@ms.a: That word "unseen" is striking. In the old days, "unseen" meant you could be doing anything.

To some employers, it stilll means that -- and yet remote work is much more accepted today because we live in a society where exponentially more of our interactions and introductions occur "virtually." We connect with professionals in our field online. We make new friends online. We meet people to date online. It only makes sense for us to work online.

@Ariella: Yup. Time and again commute length and happiness are directly inversely linked in studies/research.

Not to mention the decreased productivity that comes from being stressed out by your morning commute!

@John: If you find that study, I would be mighty interested.

I'm a big remote-work advocate, but I would tend to think that one that one aspect it could go the other way because of how prone people are to misconstruing each other's emails in the worst possible way.

@Kishore Yes, it's hard to know the real story behind some hiring and promotion decisions. I once has someone so incompetent that I thought she must have gotten through on some connection or a kind of skill that does not translate into her actual job. She lacked the requisite experience and the dedication to get things done by deadline.

@Ariella: Good to know it's not just me. The more perplexing thing is that these mediocre people are colleagues of much better people. I guess they managed to hoodwink them in interviews. Some weird psychology is at work.
