"I am not in favor of, essentially, working at home,"
"Think about a 20-something who has to learn how the world works,"
"If you're going to be in tech, and you're going to win, you're going to have to make some tradeoffs,"
"However, they all do it. That's who you're competing against."
Flexible working arrangements can undermine learning opportunities and reduce competitiveness in technology roles. Young employees gain crucial understanding by listening to and interacting with experienced coworkers in person, and those dynamics are difficult to replicate remotely. Prioritizing strict work-life balance can limit the ability of tech teams to compete effectively, requiring tradeoffs in habits and scheduling. Intense work cultures, exemplified by the so-called "996" pattern, present a competitive benchmark despite official prohibitions. Concerns about flexible work have been linked to lagging behind agile AI startups, prompting debate and partial retractions of earlier statements.
