A Microsoft scientist went on TV and revealed the craziest truth about working from home

General News

Summary

Gracing the screens of Seattles local station King 5 was Jaime Teevan, Microsofts chief scientist for experiences and devices. Still, over the last 18 months, the one ironic, almost stupefying thing that Microsoft has learned, said Teevan, is that there is an absolute and even divide over which work location is more productive. It might make you refuse to run a business and instead spend the rest of your life talking to donkeys -- an activity I strongly favor. If youre like many companies that have taken liberties by treating their workers as if theyre permanently on call, you might imagine their effort isnt sustainable. But how can that possibly square with the great, crazy dichotomy of the same percentage of people insisting theyre more productive at the office and not?
