Quote: A new research report from Citrix has found that remote working may actually hurt productivity and often makes employees feel disconnected, lonely, and not having access to all the right and necessary technology to get the work done on time, and in proper fashion.
And let me guess, that report recommends trebbling your IT budget and spending 80% of the new total on Citrix stuff to fix the problem.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If the person who wrote the article is working remotely, it's good. Else it's bad.

Quote: and often makes employees feel disconnected
Fifteen years ago, the place I worked had an office in Israel working on an embedded device. The manager of the group would call seemingly random people at weird hours and just start talking. He was pleasant, but I couldn't figure out why he would call me.
Then the company decided to shut down the office. I volunteered to take over the project and was subsequently sent there for 2 1/2 weeks (best business trip ever.) I learned why the manager called; I gradually felt completely disconnected from the company.

Despite the rapid advances in technology, it seems many enterprises are still stuck in the past in terms of system architecture. Legacy deemed harmful?

Sticking to something that works is a proven tactic; it may be a good choice to not go for the opportunities.

Why not changing just for the sake of it? What could possibly go wrong?

More information on Google's openly developed O/S featuring capability-based security and Microkernel architecture. This is the documentation project, which seems to be providing good quality technical information.
I hope this doesn't end up being another O/S dead end - I've seen to many promising systems wither and die before even being released.

At some point in your tech career, a hard choice has to be made. Do you continue down the path your managers laid out, or go against the grain? It’s never an easy choice, but it might be better to take a stand. No?

One thing I've learned over the years is that when a bad technical decision is forced on you, it is important to put your objections in writing (an email will suffice), so that when the faeces hits the ventilator, you have something to point to and say "I tried to warn you".
In one case, this saved me being sacked.

Whoa! That must have been some bad design choice!

It is always an easy choice; you're hired and paid for you expertise. A manager is just another employee, and being human, they do make mistakes. If you do not interfere, then you are not just facilitating a bigger error, but you are now part of a larger problem.
Imagine a hospital working like the "tech pro" that they jabber about here; yes, well, we forgot some equipment in that body, but its already sewn shut and the manager wants to release the new version anyway. Would you call that a "pro"? Seriously?
