'Experts studying RTO policies at S&P 500 companies found in-office workers aren't more productive.
Businesses with strict RTO policies aren't more profitable, either, the researchers determined.
But they say controlling managers prefer RTO and use employees as a scapegoat for bad performance.'

“Only one in three executives with an in-office mandate are convinced that their in-office policies have had a positive effect on productivity.” Rather than where work happens being of significance next year, how work gets done will become the “key cultural touchpoint.” https://fortune.com/2023/12/26/return-to-office-mandates-no-productivity-impact-experts-predict/amp/ #rto #wfh

Anybody happen to know how bad an idea it is to change an account username by means of #WHM's "Modify an Account" interface?

(Or, I suppose, more generally, how bad an idea it is to change a user account name in #Linux. (I didn't even know it was possible.))

The doc says that it can break... stuff. Particularly MySQL prefixing, but maybe I'm fine on that because I haven't touched MySQL on this box yet.

Edit: Well, it's done now. I moved fast, it remains to be seen if I have broken things.

@siderea
I don't know what #WFH is, but I think Linux itself should not break when you change a user name. Applications, backups, file sync could break.

It’s wild to me there was a time, just a scant few years ago, where on a week like this, if you weren’t on PTO, you’d be sitting in a near empty office building waiting until some random time of day where you’d feel it was “safe” or “okay” to head home.

With all the battles over return-to-office going on, I’m thankful that, at the very least, the widespread acceptance of tools that allowed more WFH flexibility.

#WhiteCollarPrivilege, for sure, but I’m still thankful.

Good point here - forcing people back to offices will impact women more, as success in work is linked by managers to availability (and it's men who are more available for long office hours).

If employers stop people working from home, one group will pay dearly

"More than two hours a day in meetings is the tipping point at which a majority of workers say they’re spending “too much time” in meetings, with a similar pattern emerging across all job levels."

Wat. People have fewer than 2 hours of meetings a day? 😅

This ends poorly for retention. The best talent won't acceed; they will just find new jobs 🤷‍♂️

Interesting piece - pointing out that workers save money with WFH, but also that they're setting up work/life boundaries and companies don’t like that.

Getting back to the office comes at a cost, but who will pay?

Leaving home for an in-person day at the office, first time in months. Realizing on the train I probably should have shaved.

Teams' "skin smoothing" slider won't save me today...

Oh well, at least I am wearing my big boy pants.
