I don't plan on ever going back to the office. HOWEVER, it is possible that a company could entice me to come in to the office, and here's how:
- Stop with the ridiculous open office plans
- If you have free snacks or a machine with Monster energy drinks, don't get rid of those things a year after instating them
- Give my team a budget for tools, like if we need Parallels or Sketch, and make that budget transparent
- Compensate me for transportation expenses that I wouldn't incur if I had a remote position
- Don't get weird when I leave the office for a few hours to do whatever I want when there are no meetings or high priority tasks
- Don't force me to change desks every 6 months because you failed the to properly organize the workspace the first time
- Give me actual raises and not the poppycock you call a "merit increase" which only keeps up with inflation
- Make it easy to use meeting space to host tech meetups (it's amazing how many businesses don't see the tremendous value in this)
- Get rid of Agile. It doesn't work. All you need is sprints with planning and retrospective, a ticketing system, and a daily status sync through Slack.

- awakeasleep 6y agoYou're lucky your merit increase even keeps up with inflation. I work for a fortune 500 tech company whose stock is up 600% in the past 3 years, and they got rid of the merit increase unless you get promoted or were nearly promo'ed. Even before that it was generally 1-2%, well below even the meager increases social security provides year over year.

All you need is sprints with planning and retrospective, a ticketing system, and a daily status sync through Slack. Watch some Dave Thomas videos on YouTube. Real Agile software development is nothing like the ridiculous faux-Agile frameworks sold into today's corporate prisons.
