| When I was a teenager I played World of Warcraft for 5 years. During that time we did "raids" where 40 people have to pay attention and communicate, sometimes for longer than 8 hours, with people from around the globe. If teenagers can do it, adults can do it. Period. And if they can't, skill issue I guess. |

| ▲ | JambalayaJimbo 5 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I’m absolutely shocked that people think this example is a good comparison here. If only our jobs were exactly as stimulating as a video game, and the outcomes didn’t matter at all - then maybe we could use WOW raids as evidence. | |

| ▲ | plorkyeran 5 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Mostly because it’s a lot of fun to get in one room and play together. They’ve pretty consistently said that they’re not even sure that it’s a net benefit for winning. | |
| ▲ | skaksjshbz 5 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Because they all equally share in the struggle and accomplishment. It’s an actual team not an adult daycare like most jobs. | |
| ▲ | cwbriscoe 5 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Every recent RWF, including the one a couple of weeks ago, they have at least a few people who are still remote. |

| I have a more moderate view on RTO elsewhere in this post, so I'm not someone who things WFH is always the best approach. But for now, I have yet to see any study suggest that RTO is more productive across the board all the time. |
