A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Its probably not even about productivity at this point but asserting control. People might start getting dangerous ideas like unions if they arent properly suppressed.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Give that man a cigar!
Control plus the ones who own the office space really, really need to make sure it's being used or it looks bad on the quarterly finances.
Also, I have to admit there is validity to the benefits of in-person social interaction on certain aspects of productivity when teams are involved.
