Because it is always always more about the team dynamics and chemistry than about you as an individual. If you’re a lone wolf and do-all guy this doesn’t mean you will be valuable in a team, well connected with your colleagues OR on the other hand, outperform several people. In the end of the day, the company size, business domain, etc. has more impact to whether you work remote or not and have to be evaluated and assessed. We allow remote but these are exceptions for those who cannot move easily.
- greedo 5y agoSo explain my company. My team is split into two primary locations. The HQ, where I work is a typical multistory office building, while the remote site is more stripped down. The remote site has no managers for my team, our managers are all at the HQ. So essentially, the workers at the remote site have been working (tada) remotely for over 13 years. And they do a great job. We communicate via email, by Teams/Webex, and there's no real difference. And then COVID comes along and we all WFH for the last 18 months. Now when things appear to be getting better, mgmt is all in a rush to "RTO." So not only have we proven that we can work well remotely in non-COVID times, but under the immense pressure of COVID, we had record profits. So now we're going with the worst of all worlds for my team; hybrid. We're allowed to work 1-3 days a week remotely, but the other days we'll be in the office in desk hotels. Sounds like so much fun. It really boils down to old school VPs/Managers who think butts in seats is how you get work done. And I say this as someone who's closer to retirement age than most.
