CURRENT FOCUS

Founder of two companies, and I'll die on this hill: my first startup partly died on Zoom. Juniors learn by osmosis — the overheard call, the whiteboard argument they weren't invited to but absorbed anyway. None of that survives the tile grid. And "rights" language freezes into law what should stay a negotiation between adults!

Shorter version of "osmosis": we never wrote down how juniors actually learn, so we need their bodies nearby to absorb what we can't articulate. That's not a defense of the office. That's an indictment of our documentation.

Evidence
WRONG on the aggregate. Here's the actual research: the big RTO-mandate studies found no measurable productivity gain after return orders — but senior attrition jumped, especially women and caregivers. Companies traded their most experienced people for the feeling of a full office. That's not culture. That's furniture.
