    Not really. Top managers have a bean counter mentality. They expect to
    see people working in the places that they are used to see them working.

    The one time I was in a quasi-start-up project, the line manager screwed
    it up because he decided that design reviews were a waste of time, and
    skipped them.

    Lot of errors that would have been caught at a design review got
    through, and had to be found - slowly and expensively - by
    trouble-shooting boards that had been built with built-in errors.

    The clown that made the choice hadn't had the painful experience on
    getting complicated boards to work that would have given him some
    insight into why design reviews were worth doing, even if they cost time
    up front, because skipping them cost a lot more time down-stream.

    Yes I did read some comments that 'working from home was bad for innovation' But many real breakthroughs came from people working at home, or in small working places.
    steam engine (kettle), Curie, Edison, radio, Farnsworth, all lone inventors with maybe a garden shed as lab.

    As opposed to Boeing starliner trilion dollar money sink going nowhere,
    Elon Musk with X just started a new AI engine that is not censored:
