Considering how hard people on this website try to push remote work it's funny how a broad consensus has emerged that Boeing putting workers and management in different offices is responsible for their cultural failures.

There are code monkeys working on safety-critical systems too.


All things considered, there is a stark difference between a job whose primary focus is to build a physical thing and a job whose primary focus is to build a digital thing.


Boeing isn’t a remote company, so it’s not a contradiction.

If you read into most of the arguments for remote-friendly workplaces, step one is cultural changes.
