I'm probably the only one. I do not think WFH is the future.
It takes a minute to turn around, tap PM on shoulder and ask "what about this or that?" And get an answer.
Instead if ping in company channel. Provide all possible points of relating data. Link to all related content. And then ask my question. And hope I get an answer within an hour.
In almost any possible professional situation it's faster and more efficient to be in office.
The conversation we should all be having is what compensation we will demand for the return to the office. Paided travel. Paid child care. All those things that WFH revealed to be the scam our employers pulled on us.
I think it depends on your industry and specialty. In my line of work my coworkers are all over the world and can't really be centralized. There may be clusters in different regions, but it's hard to justify (in my opinion) coming into the office to see two colleagues you may not even need to talk to that week. It is especially more difficult when meetings are regularly outside of normal work hours.
My company is still trying to force people back in where there are clusters, but I feel like they're spending more on bullshit events to make it seem like it's worth it than they could possibly gain in productivity. It really feels like a bunch of people trying to justify their jobs than anything else.
Outside of regular work hours?? Screw that noise.
I do agree there are many situations where it doesn't make sense to return to the office.
We've worked in some totally different offices. Half the time I couldn't find the people I needed to talk to. That being said, yes, anyone being forced to go back to the office should be able to demand better terms.
