When I was early in my career I was in an Engineering rotation program. At one of the locations I was at I sat right outside this older VP’s office. He would HAND WRITE drafts of emails and then have his secretary type and send them on his behalf.
He was a nice enough guy, but yea it’s no surprise to me that people from that generation cannot wrap their minds around remote work. I mean, who would type his emails if he didn’t have a secretary sitting 20 feet from his desk?
