He's a no spouse/no kids kinda career guy who sends emails and Slack messages in the evenings and at night. It's such gross behavior to me but some people think that's what you have to do. One guy I work for will often work late at night because he likes to do bike rides and stuff during the day, so he's basically shifting his time around. But he doesn't actually expect anyone to respond to his emails until the next morning so it's fine (and I don't have a work phone). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm home 100% of the time. I think I prefer hybrid. If you have a big house and can set aside a room to use as your office and you only go in that room to do work, 100% WFH makes a lot more sense. If you live in a studio or one bedroom though then it's miserable being WFH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they key thing is...just let people do what works best for them, assuming there is a system in place to ensure the work is getting done. Some people prefer to be in an office, and some at home. If both work, then let them just work. Only friction is that some people who like to be in the office get angry that the office isn't bustling (which they enjoy), so try and get others to come back in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, my manager never actually expects me to respond and is respectful about that. But it will always give an impression that I'm not as invested as he is, and the truth is I am not - by design. If it works for him, then that's great. His whole life is this job and running iron mans - so that's the type of person he is. To me my job is just something I enjoy doing that allows me to live comfortably so I can focus on my family, traveling, playing guitar, playing Steam Deck while watching Obi-wan episodes, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I think there is something intangible but meaningful about real world interaction with your team. Probably matters more for certain types of jobs and less for others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I'm 100% work from home since 2016 and prefer that way. I think the "danger" of hybrid is it can lead to a failure of WFH communication culture where people in the office don't actively set up zoom or slack and mainly communicate in person with the people there in person. When everyone is WFM, everyone participates in the culture of using slack, zoom, etc. which keeps everyone included. If a place can manage to maintain the right communication culture as a hybrid though, then it's clearly better to give more people options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I’m of the opinion you either need to be fully remote or not (with some flexibility because life happens) because hybrid has been for me “go to the office and get on a teams meeting anyway” even for people on the same floor or building.

Depends on the job there. I do service support which requires on site presence at times but my specific role not often. They pulled us all back anyway.

Brick Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I have nothing to contribute to this thread at the moment other than to say that last night I had a dream where I saw Elon Musk while shopping, and I started roasting and heckling him for all his bullshit. That is all. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Everyone has different feelings on hybrid, wfm, in office, which just makes it obvious that the solution is to leave it to the employee so long as the job is supporting of it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
