    They’re asking for 3 days per week but not the full 5. This is pretty in line with the “new normal” compromises that most businesses are asking of knowledge workers these days.

    In my opinion/experience, in-person group collaboration can be very helpful, so I can see the argument for it. But, I think it should flexible and not be required by an arbirary number of in-person days. Maybe 1 regular day per week at minimum. Maybe.

    I’m in office 3 days a week and honestly most of the time it’s a waste of my commute time because my teams are remote anyway. My work does provide incentives to come in on occasion (periodic lunches for example) which is nice if I can/want to make it.

    We’ve looked at how our teams work best, and the data is clear: when people work together in person more often, they thrive

    Yeah, I call bullshit. Show me the raw data and let’s see what it actually says.

      As a person that has done WFH since 2010, I can confirm two things: 1) Working alone is 150% more efficient than office. 2) Trainees or Projects that have group collaboration thrive better with intraoffice contact. There is no remote tool that captures the performance boost you get from direct in person collaboration.

          Oh, good. Everyone was very on the fence about how good Teams was before, it’s nice to finally have a definitive answer.

    I guess this is one way to keep North Koreans from getting employment through remote jobs…?
