The 16 pings a minute. The 6 hours of meetings a day because people aren't getting the information they need organically each day. The "hey, can I call?"'s during what I thought would be my free half hour in the afternoon. This is definitely not what it was like in the office.

Unfortunately, I recognize this doesn't change unless an org goes 100% back onsite.

Why wouldn't it work with 2 or 3 unified days onsite and 2 or 3 days wfh, with a no-meetings, minimal-interruptions directive on wfh days? I think this structure, if well managed, would work even better than the old 5-days-in-office.

Unfortunately this can be a race to the bottom as companies with wfh are driven out of business by those without
codexjourneys · a year ago
This will be counterbalanced by the fact that WFH is better for many employees from a work-life balance perspective, so higher-performing employees who have more choices will tend to gravitate toward companies that allow WFH.

I expect many companies will arrive at an equilibrium with at least 2 days WFH for focused work and 3 days in-office for collaboration. This seems to already be happening since the % of companies offering hybrid is up this year. The question is how many great employees laggard companies will lose before accepting that.

(Caveat: this does not apply to companies doing mostly ground-breaking work that have more mission-focused, highly qualified applicants than they can handle. Some companies may be surprised to find they are no longer in this bucket.)

Duplicate, which also got on the front page without a working link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36881510

What's your secret for getting 1 upvote per minute even when the link doesn't work?

I just thought the topic sounded interesting. It's back up now.

I read this as more of a "both, and" situation. Lots of other industries have ISACs (Information Sharing and Analysis Centers), mostly focused on information security, and they can work quite well. The FS-ISAC, for example, is quite active in the financial services sector and (IMHO) reasonably effective.

It's always been a little baffling not to see FAANGs on this list (the IT ISAC is broader than just the tech industry): https://www.nationalisacs.org/member-isacs-3

So, I think this is a good step for the AI industry. Of course regulation is still a necessary component, but an industry consortium focused on sharing lessons learned and good practices is a good step, in my view.

If that is the reason, perhaps temporarily moving to another state might help? The author appears to still be mobile.

Absolutely, the closest state to NY with a "right to try" law is Connecticut. Pennsylvania also has one. https://righttotry.org/in-your-state/

Edit: Also, the federal law applies regardless of location: https://righttotry.org/rtt-faq/

"I do not live in a state with a Right to Try law. Can I still use Right to Try?

"Yes. S.204 makes Right to Try the law of the land. So long as a patient and treatment meet the qualifications of the federal law, Right to Try applies, regardless of whether the patient’s state adopted Right to Try."
