Remote vs Return to Office

[Paul Boniol]

We touched on remote work vs returning to the office last night. Recent story by ZDNet.

In my case, the division manager said he wanted us to have two days we could schedule in-person meetings. (Despite Zoom meetings having worked well for a year and a half, and having to divide our set days by teams, to reduce possible breakthrough infections)..

The departmental managers said they said they do not have any ability to change or wave the policy for any employee. Two of 19 employees in my department are very extroverted and vocalized a desire to be around other people.

We have had one person leave for a 100% remote position. I don't know if this played any role in her decision to leave.

We were given an option, and since I was pretty much WFH anyway before
the covid, I'll probably stay that way if I can help it.

I'm in a good place right now, and have no desire to look around.  :D
