Hybrid working from home improves retention without damaging performance
Abstract:
Working from home has become standard for employees with a university degree. The most common scheme, which has been adopted by around 100 million employees in Europe and North America, is a hybrid schedule, in which individuals spend a mix of days at home and at work each week1,2. However, the effects of hybrid working on employees and firms have been debated, and some executives argue that it damages productivity, innovation and career development3,4,5. Here we ran a six-month randomized control trial investigating the effects of hybrid working from home on 1,612 employees in a Chinese technology company in 2021–2022. We found that hybrid working improved job satisfaction and reduced quit rates by one-third. The reduction in quit rates was significant for non-managers, female employees and those with long commutes. Null equivalence tests showed that hybrid working did not affect performance grades over the next two years of reviews. We found no evidence for a difference in promotions over the next two years overall, or for any major employee subgroup. Finally, null equivalence tests showed that hybrid working had no effect on the lines of code written by computer-engineer employees. We also found that the 395 managers in the experiment revised their surveyed views about the effect of hybrid working on productivity, from a perceived negative effect (−2.6% on average) before the experiment to a perceived positive one (+1.0%) after the experiment. These results indicate that a hybrid schedule with two days a week working from home does not damage performance.

I feel as if full remote with a day in the office every couple of weeks for teambildung is fine as long as it's voluntarily.
I much prefer retrospectives and post mortems of projects in person, too. Still no reason to force people to come in as long as the work gets done

My office used to be fully remote during the pandemic and changed how our entire company did business. Once commercial real estate started complaining in the newspaper about their values going down, my company did a full 180 and required everyone back 2 days a week. A year went by and no one really wanted to go back in so they INCREASED the days were required in the office to 3 days.
December 24 is scheduled for a new announcement and most people at my work expect to be told then that the requirement will be brought to 4-5 days per week.
We went from being promised by senior management that we are remote by design to “hybrid” at 4 mandatory in office days per week. 5 for management.
hybrid working from home ..
Is a cop-out, forcing commute-range on plebes' housing and in-office stress.

John Wick was an awesome series of movies.
Damsel was horrible.
One of those IPs was a good story about a guy fighting against a lot of powerful stuff, the other was constant virtue signaling straight out of the lifetime network from 15 years ago "men are bad and will hurt you"
John Wick was an awesome series of movies.
They'd burned through the premise badly inside the first two films. And that's before you read it as Equilibrium with the serial numbers filled off.
Which is a shame. All that money on effects and direction and talent. Nobody thought to hire a screenwriter worth a shit to make any of the theatrics meaningful.
Must be a cowardly existence to be made to feel ideologically fragile by just watching a movie lol
That might mean your belief system doesn't hold up to any scrutiny whatsoever but hey, maybe it's the one time in history that someone was offended by questions about their beliefs for a reason other than they're a trash fire.
Must be a cowardly existence to be made to feel ideologically fragile by just watching a movie lol
Is that some kind of projection?
Sorry, all I heard there was “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”
Good to know you're incapable of understanding the substance of what people say.
"Original" as in it has original ideas, or "original" as in it's not part of an established franchise? If it's the latter, I saw The Wild Robot in theaters. It was okay. A bit by-the-numbers, and I'm not sure everything made total sense, but it's a kid's movie so that was to be expected.
If the former, then, uh... Problemista? Also in theaters. I really liked that one.
Watched it again last night, but Legend of Hei. Chinese animated film I have on Blu-ray/DVD through Shout! Factory. Love the Chinese dub because I personally don't like how they use an English translation for a few different characters names. Watched on my Blu-ray player and must say, it's probably my tv, but I cannot really see is big difference between DVD and Blu-ray. Last movie I watched, let alone original movie.
May be based on an animated web series, but I still consider it original.
"I saw the TV glow" is the name of the movie, strange film, used a lot of terror film language but never got there, like it tried to be scary but not really just tension. I like it mainly for how strange it was, in a positive way. (Forgot to mention that I also watched Megapolis, that was also really strange but in a bore way)
Kinds of Kindness probably my favorite because is the Yargos I was missing in Poor Thighs and The Favorite.
I'm not into kids animation, so The Wild Robot, is my least favorite of them, but was entertaining.
Fallen Leaves was a cute film, not a lot of things happening, with a slow rhythm, typical European film festival movie if you're into that.
The Substance, is fantastic, really reccomend it, even if you don't enjoy body horror, is not that bad that you couldn't watch. I think people are trying to see way over the message of the movie because it just too obvious, and some people need a deeper message.
The last movie I saw in theaters was Interstellar... just pulled up the release date, and holy shit, it's been a solid decade.
...not really feeling the urge to change that either. All I remember theaters being is a sticky fucking mess where a bag of skittles and a drink will cost you like 5% of your net worth; from there you pack into these disgusting seats, invariably right behind some 6'11" 400lb dude in a fucking cowboy hat and, surrounded on all sides by people who have never heard of the concept of shutting the fuck up for 90 mins...
I mean, make fun of me if you want, but I saw The Beekeeper in theaters. Maybe not super original but it wasn't explicitly marketed as a remake or rehash or whatever.
No, I didn't have a free ticket or voucher or anything, I paid full price for the ticket.
Yes, I snuck in alcohol (they don't serve).
As a popcorn flick, I enjoyed my 1.5 hours or whatever.
Yes, I paid a stupid amount of money for popcorn, it's a local theater not tied to any mega corps.
I didn't watch Beekeeper in a theatre it because I didn't know if it was gonna be just a cheap cash grab.
I watched it via a paid service and enjoyed it very much with my wife in the home theatre I built.
The last movie I watched in cinema was deadpool & wolverine. Before that was Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
And that's all, I don't watch movies in cinema. Mostly because closest cinema for me is 103km away.
Normally just watch pre 2010 movies.
Fifth Element. With my eyes.
Not the NEWEST original movie I've watched, though. I'm not sure which one that is but I'm confident that I used my eyes for that as well.
False. Star Wars viewing drove off a cliff when their sequels sucked.
There is a 1-2 sequel movies buffer until the drop off starts when the quality is consistently bad.
the thing is, most people don't. Movie buffs are a minority, the casual viewers flock to what they know, which is exactly why there are only sequels and reboots. It wouldn't be like that if it wasn't making them tons of money.False. Star Wars viewing drove off a cliff when their sequels sucked.
There is a 1-2 sequel movies buffer until the drop off starts when the quality is consistently bad.
That doesn’t make anything they said false. What you said just means that quality still matters, eventually.
I try not to sub to streaming services with an ad+sub tier like cable TV which narrows options over the past few years but also helps me avoid some of that stuff.
Criterion collection/channel is usually good for Indies and some lesser known quality films.
And physical media but that's mostly just for stuff I already know I like and would watch multiple times or for the commentary track because of how expensive that can get.
Theaters I'll go to for epic movies in IMAX or sometimes new horror movies or the occasional rifftrax thing they do where they broadcast live from a theater to a bunch of other theaters.
Wolfs, on the appropriate streaming service.
Also watched the Tom Hanks 2021 movie, Finch.
Banshees of Inishirin.
Story of a friendship going sour and one guy having trouble moving on. Some great acting. A dark comedy.
Quite refreshing from the Hollywood schlock that is typically in our local thestre
Twisters
Unless we're counting documentaries, but seeing a documentary of events in the 1960's in theaters probably doesn't count as "original" anyways
Patsy, it's been three days!!!

Yeah... Of all the antigovernment people to latch onto it's vaguely unfortunate that we landed on fawks. Like, I do get that it's a pop culture reference more than an actual historical reference, but still.
There was legitimate persecution of Catholics in England at the time, so it doesn't least have a veneer of fighting tyranny, but he didn't even actually succeed.
Shoulda gone for Louis Lingg. A bit more modern, and had the awesome criminal defense that "it's his right to fill his house with dynamite".
Heroes aren't always good people. Their reasons are lost to time to the average person, but the message is remembered. The actions supersede the reason.
Guy Fawkes is not remembered as a person, he's remembered as a figure.
Not calling this a good thing.
He’s remembered as a figure who wanted to kill all of Parliament ~~and return the nation to an absolute monarchy.~~
Is this what the cops are saying he changed his clothes into now?
They ought to start calling him the clean assassin with how frequently he changes clothes.
Look up Guy Fawkes. I don't remember all the details but I think he was some French guy who got executed for something.
Unless you're talking about that specific person wearing that outfit in which case he's from the movie V for Vendetta with Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving.
Edit: I don't know how to read.
I knew I got the details wrong. Thanks for the correction!
Even though I completely misunderstood what that person was asking about lmao
Shooting someone responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people is a crime, yes. but can it be morally justifiable?
To be clear i am not saying people should start shooting billionaires en masse (per the feddit.uk rules prohibiting the incitement/promotion of violence). i'm just saying i would shed no tear, and make no effort to stop them
Yes - it’s true the healthcare CEO had more blood on his hands than the shooter, but that’s no reason to refer to the CEO as a criminal!
He was just a greedy, unethical monster who lived off the largess of others’ suffering.
I love the double morale of some people with the meme templates.
Lots of people encouraging others to stop using the guy at the "change my mind" meme because that person is bad but it's ok to use a literal criminal (the one that killed the CEO of a company)?
I didn't know that killing was considered a good action depending if the one dead is rich or not. /s
Oh won't somebody think of the hyper rich oligarchs exploiting sick and dying people for profit?!?!?!
Buddy, bootlicking the billionaires won't make them reconsider denying your insurance claim.
The man he killed was a thousand times more criminal than the shooter.
The shooter may be a criminal, but he significantly reduced the total criminality of this world.
Guys we gotta problem looks like bro has been caught. We gotta find a way to free him!

Trump says will consider leaving NATO if allies didn't 'pay bills’
US President-elect Donald Trump reiterated his campaign promises to impose trade tariffs and carry out mass deportations on Sunday, while also hinting at the possibility of withdrawing from NATO.
In his first major televised interview, six weeks before taking office, Trump said he would "absolutely" consider leaving NATO if allies didn't "pay their bills."
"They have to pay their bills," Trump told NBC's "Meet the Press," saying he would "absolutely" consider taking the United States out of the alliance unless members are "treating us fairly."
He also suggested that US backing for Ukraine would be reduced, stating he would "probably" limit funds to Kiev, which the United States has been steadfastly backing since the war in Ukraine broke out.
"Possibly. Yeah, probably, sure," he told the US news outlet.

They'd blame us for being sad about our lives being treated as chattel and blame us for being angry that life or death decisions are being made on a whim to fatten someones pocketboot to the end of time.
History has shown over and over and over again, they will do everything to alienate themselves from the violence they are committing against the populace, and act like that violence is somehow a side effect consequence of what they do, and not a deliberate act of denying needed care. The opulent ownership class have done it countless times throughout history, they will deny it and be confused by our moral indignation with what they do until they very end, sadly.

The United States launched a wave of airstrikes against ISIS in Syria
The strikes against the ISIS leaders, operatives, and camps were conducted as part of the ongoing mission to disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS, in order to prevent the terrorist group from conducting external operations and to ensure that ISIS does not seek to take advantage of the current situation to reconstitute in central Syria.
The operation struck over 75 targets using multiple U.S. Air Force assets, including B-52s, F-15s, and A-10s. Battle damage assessments are underway, and there are no indications of civilian casualties.

Sidekick - A new mastodon web client, in which the user can post through a variety of bots! (still in early alpha-phase ...)
Currently, there are six bots available:
- Larry: Classic text posting: just post text
- Spark: turns all text into uppercase
- Ennui: produces low-effort posts (removes punctuation, makes it lowercase, introduces typos)
- Jea: schedule posts by starting post with a hashtag and the number of minutes to postpone
- Hamlet: adds a random Shakespear quote to the post
- Legion: send out multiple posts by starting the message with a hastag with the number of repeats
You can select three of them and have them then available next to the post-button as a quick-select.

So wait, this is basically just a Bluesky client that allows you to alter the text you're about to post in some way or another?
Then I don't get why you would call that a bot. The way it's phrased I imagined everyone posting from bot accounts

Well, custom posting can mean all kinds of stuff. Text altering is just one thing. You can also give commands to the "bot" through hashtags. For example, one of the bots postpones the post for a certain amount of minutes via the first hashtag.
For example: "#5 this will be send in 5 minutes"
Yeah, this is kind of everything that most fedi communities I know about do not want.
Cool that you built a thing and all and maybe there is a use for it but I'm gonna have to respectfully downvote.
