I joined four companies since COVID. All but the latest company did onboarding remotely. All of them made me take twice as long to ramp up on my duties compared to an in-person experience

Also, virtual onboarding are TORTUROUS (for me). You're in a Zoom all day, sometimes for multiple days, trying your best to look into the camera and absorb mountains of information while trying very hard to not be distracted by the wonderful things happening in and outside of your house.

If I'm going to be in all-day meetings, I much prefer to be in an office with other people when they happen.

No, they’re fed up with underperforming fraudsters that work 3 hours per day and have the productivity of 10% of proper working employees, yet still get paid 200k+

So fire them? Someone with 10% output should easily be recognizable.

Can’t do that in the Netherlands.

Plus the whole “movement” creaties a lower baseline of performance. Most managers or engineers have no idea how much can be done and what quality means
