I get the remote work as "get out of the house" thing. Changing your workspace away from home changes your frame of mind. It can be a discipline thing. You start work at x and finish at y, theres a place to do it, you go there and your return at end of the day. Here is not there, and work happens there and home happens here.
That said, the WFH / remote work has shown a lot of people that in-office isn’t so much about productivity but instead more about other matters. But they're now wondering exactly what those other matters are and whether they're important. I think its not actually clear what the fallout will be but a lot of the pushback around Wfh is from lobby groups and office space owners, property developers and everything else around office life. All those vested interests with a complete ecosystem they've set up and are now a lot less stable about.
The other aspect is that in person face-to-face is still great. Well... as long as no one sneezes.
- conductr 5y agoI think training and onboarding could be difficult for many companies/teams/bosses to adapt to in a remote environment. I feel like many people stayed put in their jobs in the past year so this hasn’t really been stress tested. When you already know everyone and the way work-is-done going remote is liberating. Trying to navigate a new organization where you know nobody and nothing would be a challenge.
