Maybe the marketing people can do some market analysis and figure out that trying bully software developers back into the office so that marketing people can have a captive audience for their extroversion isn't a great path forward and instead is creating incredible amounts of resentment and even hostility. Maybe they should go hang out at the local Starbucks and make some real friends instead of trying to impose themselves and their preferences on others. Note that the WFH people don't give a shit if the extroverts with an addiction to endless external validation work in an office, at home, or in a deep sea trench but the converse isn't true with the extrovert trying with all their might to force their preferences on everyone else. You'd think marketers would understand people a bit better and realize that the outcome is going to be that they're going to get blasted each time they try to use their slimy sales tactics to force everyone to conform to their personal preferences.


Bro, you’re in-office because of your C-level, not the extroversion of an unrelated team.

You don’t think they could just socialize amongst their immediate peers in-office without you?


I don't see how the working decisions of a markerting firm would have anything to do with software devs.

The world doesn't revolve around software devs, which is kind of the whole point of my post. Devs can work from home, these articles aren't about them, and hence why its dumb to discuss them on HN.


This article is literally about them.
