    I don't disagree.

    It's just not accurate to say they do not track if they have dailies.

    I'll flip it. That if no-one asks about your work line manager etc., then it all feels unimportant and unrewarding. Also means that who ever is managing it isn't doing their job.

    You don't always need dailies though. If you are doing a 10 mins daily that's almost an hour a week. Plus the time taken to prepare something for it. Sometimes it's necessary sometimes it isn't.

    Totally depends on the job- true- but nature of office work these days tends to be project based with deliverables at end- regular checkin’s are needed to ensure project stays on track - you could complete dozens of smaller shorter projects in the course of a year - all related to a bigger wider project - it’s just sensible modern work organisation that’s all

    If it was all in system tracking the project(s) a manager would see the rollup at a glance.

    At least if they would if they looked at the system. Often they don't.

    This thread has become 90% of people agreeing with each other and still finding a way to argue.

    A lot of projection of your self going on in this post?

    You do realise that not everyone is like you/your friends?

    no they are arguing with the 10% like myself who are not on board with the consensus here. The consensus here is still only a small section of the overall population given that the vast majority of the workforce do not work from home. Like alot internet forums it becomes an echo chamber.

    Self centered post tbh. Possibly some jealousy at the root of it.

    Also, perhaps your own default is laziness but there's plenty of people who are the opposite.

    Remember, everyone's experience is different. WFH suits some people and not others.

    Managers should know what their employees are working on regardless of where they are, otherwise they are pointless managers.

    WFH is weeding out poor managers, that's for sure.

    I don't know where you are getting that from ? where did I mention my friends in a general discussion about WFH and the downsides, I think its more a case of don't like the message target the messenger. The same thing happened when Denis O Brien criticised WFH and the whole culture around it, he got slated not for his arguments on WFH but about everything else from Esat to being a tax exile.

    He got slated for his arguments, too.

    And also for being a corrupt tax exile ****.

    "We all know WFH allows way more slacking off of work"

    "long term it's not healthy even for the individual because it limits their social interactions"

    "During COVID we heard that marriage break ups and divorce rose significantly afterwards as the pressure of being stuck together all day with no outlet caused friction."

    "The default option for humans is laziness so if they don't have to do stuff they won't"

    None of your above statements have any resonance with me. It seems to be your personal assessment of you/your friends situation.

    Always find it odd when people argue the importance of the social side of their job. Do that not have meaningful relationships outside of work with people of their choosing?

    Why should anyone give a fúck what Denis O'Brien thinks about anything?

    Quite something when someone thinks "the office" mirrors real life when in fact is satire of dysfunctional office with an inept management.
