This is just fundamentally untrue. Depending on your office culture, processes, personalities of the people involved, and any number of other things… it can be _good enough_. But you are always going to make compromises to communication and collaboration by all working in completely different locations.
I think this is one of the reasons everybody gets so frustrated by the WFH discussion. Sure there’s lots of reasons why the WFH experience can be better for the worker, but most of the discussion on the topic is so completely dishonest. The detractors will grossly exaggerate the downsides, and then comments like this refuse to even acknowledge that compromises are being made.
- thevagrant 5y agoI didn't reject your original post.. I was merely giving my experience. I did preface what I wrote stating that it may depend on the company and team. I have found video calls can help me and others keep to the point. It certainly may not be the same for everyone. I'm certainly not 100% against office meetings or working some days in an office.
