IBM CEO Arvind Krishna has warned employees that remote work can be hazardous to your career, especially if you want to be in management.
Krishna warned in a recent interview that remote workers will have a hard time moving up in their careers. Remote work is more suitable for certain roles that require individual work, such as customer service or software programming, he said.
"In the short term you probably can be equally productive, but your career does suffer," he said. "Moving from there to another role is probably less likely because nobody's observing them in another context. It will be tougher. Not impossible, but probably a lot tougher. "
"It seems to me that we work better when we are together in person," he said. "We encourage you to come in, we expect you to come in, we want you to come in."
