At the Asia Economic Dialogue in Pune in February 2023, NR Narayana Murthy emphasised that “laziness” must be dealt with.
“Please don’t fall into this trap of ‘I will moonlight, I will do work from home, I will come to office three days in a week’,” the tech leader said.
Last year OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told Fortune Magazine that he believed one of the tech industry’s “worst mistakes” was to allow employees to go “full remote forever.”
“I would say that the experiment on that is over, and the technology is not yet good enough that people can be full remote forever, particularly on startups,” he told the magazine. The company, just like Google, the ChatGPT-maker also requires three days a week in-person attendance.
Zuckerberg has also said that “people who work from home are not efficient and engineers who come to the office get more work done.”
In 2023, Meta reportedly reversed the work-from-home policy, mandating that employees return to the office for at least three days a week.
In 2023, Elon Musk called remote work “morally wrong” during an interview with CNBC.
“I think that the whole notion of work from home is a bit like the fake Marie Antoinette quote, ’Let them eat cake’. It’s not just a productivity thing. I think it’s morally wrong,” Musk said.
He added that engineers in the Silicon Valley are a part of “laptop classes living in la-la land” and said they should get off “their moral high horse work-from-home bulls***.”
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff last year told MSNBC that he loves remote work.
“I’m a remote worker. I’ve always been a remote worker my whole life. I don’t work well in an office,” he said.
“For my people that’s my message. They need to mix in person and remote together. Our engineers are extremely productive at home. We have lots of people who are extremely productive at home. But there also has to be sales people being productive in the office selling to customers and we need to make it all work,” Benioff said.
