#22Canada here: Not yet back in the office but plan is 2 days a week. Personally it seems like the worst of both worlds.
Why is that?

#23There are a number of problems with WfH. There's no work community or camaraderie at home . Doggo should count. Kittah jumping on the keyboard is just using you for food and grooming. There's no grabbing lunches. There's no visiting X down the hall. No grabbing a beer after work. Boss G, H, or J can't see you around. Colleagues M, N, P, and Q don't have a sense of your performance or amount of work that happens far a…

#27The company I worked for (a consultancy) started touting a “hybrid working model” (I.e. we’ll need you in the office more and more as we see fit) so I quit and got a full-remote job with another company who are based as far from me as possible (so even if they decide to vary my contract and go office based I’m well outside the area they could reasonably expect me to travel). I’ll never go back to commuting.
Same here. What are the MBAs who want the crew to warm the seats do ?

Nothing is preventing you from meeting colleagues for lunch or grabbing a beer after work.

#30I am 100% remote, and don't planning on ever returning to a regular work week at the office. The company I work for is based in another state.
