    This feels much more likely to be accurate than I would want it to be, especially as it’s less the A/B/C players taxonomy and, above some level, mostly about fit and the level of engagement you get out of someone. https://diff.substack.com/p/the-future-of-remote-work-is-not …pic.twitter.com/cchNIFC7j4

        (Virtually nobody who knows me professionally would recognize me from my early to mid twenties, because deep disengagement meant it would take me six weeks to half-keister a two day task. There are a lot of orgs where that is Meets Expectations.)

        I think reseach would not confirm that office helps with focus and engagement. Many long-time remote workers claim the opposite and that they had to consciuosly limit how much/intensly they work to avoid overwork. How do office coffee breaks, interruptions and meetings help?

        I think that is heavily heterogenous, yeah.

        It's not just "up to the employee" though. The manager and company have a big role in determining which category people end up in.

        "Lazy" is pulling a lot of unearned weight in this analysis, I think. "Disengaged", as a concept, will yield much more useful insights. "Laziness" tries to sweep away structural causes of disengagement in favor of a simplistic pigeonholing of individual people.

        More context: “Knowledge work has a built-in agency conflict: output is a function of skill and focus, skill comes from legitimate interest in a field, and that legitimate interest means that spending your entire workday on an Internet-connected device is incredibly distracting.”

        I like your framing of fit a lot more than engagement. I think people sometimes think there's a lack of engagement, when really the person is a poor fit, working hard on things no one cares about at the expense of more important tasks.

        Honestly I wonder how much of this is undiagnosed problems. I could work so so so quickly at 23. Then one project I worked 60+ hour weeks and I got a burn out that I never recovered from. I've never felt that I've worked as quickly as before.

        I'd find it so hard to focus from then on. Gradually worse and worse. Even years after switching jobs. Started getting called into meetings with my manager because a teammate was complaining about my slowness. Psych told me adults can develop ADD. Adderall fixed me for ~6mos.
