I asked this casually with /polly in slack the other day and was surprised that our engineering department was split 50/50. 50% thinking we should go fully remote and 50% being very adamant that they needed an office to work in the majority of the time.
- otoburb 6y agoOne factor that might bias these results are the type of setup that one has in the office compared to the home, primarily available space (i.e. spare bedrom) and office equipment (i.e. ergonomic chairs home/office & large/multiple computer monitors).
- dv_dt 6y agoThat actually isn't bad is it? Cut back 50% on office space for savings (or leave some extra for growth), and have both groups accommodated.
- otoburb 6y agoThe follow-on repercussion is that the pendulum swings even further to open-seating hot desk arrangements.
- ghaff 6y agoWhile I think that's true, I work for a company that even normally has a lot of remote and mostly WFH employees. In general, people who come in more then X% of the time can still get an assigned spot. But--at least if space is tight--you'll need to hot desk if you just come in a day or two per week or less.
