Mostly that by having remote co-workers I get many of the downsides of remote work without any of the upsides.
Once a few colleagues are remote, all collaboration has to assume remote as the default. Even if I'm in the office I'm still stuck with remote collaboration, but I still have a commute.
- onlyrealcuzzo 5y agoFacebook is pretty big. Couldn't you just find a team that is predominately in the office?
- Izikiel43 5y agoWhy don't you become remote then? Remote all the things!
- digbert 5y agoThat's one option, but personally I find remote utterly miserable and terrible for collaboration. I'd rather find a job where I see my colleagues in person. The upsides for me of being in the office massively outweigh the downsides, but only if my colleagues are there too.
- Mehdi2277 5y agoBecause they enjoy the office. I prefer going to the office some but not most days and like occasional trips elsewhere so full remote is fine. I have friends who really like the social aspect of the office and working on a team where most of their teammates are remote would be very undesirable to them. In practice I feel like you could just aim to have some teams be mostly people who like office and other teams be mostly remote. Would be awkward hiring wise though to send someone to a different team just on there office vs remote view.
