Does it have to be all or nothing? I enjoy working remotely but not all the time. I still need some social interaction and like collaborating in person depending on what’s going on.
The best option is to provide flexibility as needed and build up infrastructure around that.
- kypro 8y agoI worked full remote for about 4 years, and I've found it's less efficient and rewarding as part-remote, flexi working. It's nice to avoid rush hour and work from home a day or two a week, but it can also be really useful to discuss more complicated things in person. Often fully remote workers can find themselves becoming seconded-class employees because they get left out of many of the casual office conversations regarding the direction of projects, etc.

Maybe it’s not a skill I have, but I definitely felt isolated and like something was lost. I’ve also read somewhere (sorry don’t remember the specific source) that people who work entirely remotely when others are in an office tend to lose out on things like promotions and end up making less.
