I work remotely and i feel my hours did go up, not just my output, because the extra capacity keeps getting filled with new ideas that i can also control from my phone and keep being kinda engaged. Its not that i am required to be physically all the time on my pc more. Its that i get to be more hours engaged? does that make sense?
I agree the headcount side is the scarier part. Especially if/when we run out of ideas or experiments.
