alt Hacker NewsIf remote work is to blame, wouldn't that also indicate that you couldn't outsource part of your work to lower salaried countries. A lot of companies have their senior staff at the home office, then outsource the more trivial tasks to e.g. India.
Managing people is hard, managing remote people makes it hard to hide that you're a poor manager. If you want to allow for remote work, you need to invest in management training. You should do that for onsite as well, but it will be less visible that you if you skip that step.
What if unrealistic economical growth is to blame for weak junior hiring?
I don't see that remote work (using domestic workers) is to blame for lack of hiring, although it does have other problems:
- Less collaboration/communication
- Kills local businesses
Yes, I was being sarcastic. Outsourcing is of course a huge jobs and money drain from the US, but CEOs and the FT don't want to admit this obvious fact - they'd prefer to blame AI or remote working.
