IBM UK: Oh, remote workers. We want to be colocated with you again

WTF?

In Brazil we have 3 co-location Hubs. The main one is in Hortolandia - about 120km from São Paulo; Rio de Janeiro; and São Paulo.

The nearest hub for me is in São Paulo, where I live but, there're no desks available there nor projects. All "opportunities" are in Hortolandia.

The execs are expecting us to commute 120km every day but even in Hortlandia, there's no room for everyone. People are playing Musical Chairs to get space to work.

The most pathetic situation is that people are going to the office to be "Agile", have stand up meetings but the reality is that people are just working on Conference Lines just like at Home Office.

Only when Business, Software and Hardware are in a same spot this co-location would work. Otherwise it's just rubbish...
