Not much. My employer has been very smart in adapting to the remote-first approach. We hired a lot of full-remote people during the pandemic, the company is allowing people to switch contract and go full-remote and is allowing non-remote people to work from home until the end of the year. Starting from 2022 the rumor is that we'll be hitting the office once per week, mostly due to legal reason/constraints. If that's the case, I've proposed such day to be friday and I'll be pushing for all the meetings to be on friday, with the idea being the if I have to go to the office at least let's make it a social event (meetings, meetings with other teams, lunch together etc). This still has to materialize though, so we'll see :)

> I've proposed such day to be friday and I'll be pushing for all the meetings to be on friday, with the idea being the if I have to go to the office at least let's make it a social event Friday is also the most common day for people to leave work early or take off entirely. Just my opinion, but as a non-manager, I would not be happy if my manager made that move.

  Meeting on Fridays are better than Monday meetings. But coming into the office is so 2019.

We hired remotely during the pandemic, but told candidates that they are expected to come into the office when announced. It was relatively easy to hire compared to before. Most of them are just leaving for another company now that return to office has been announced. Management wonders why it's so hard to fill jobs now... hello, you had access to remote talent and now that you've axed that you only have access to local talent...

Friday is read-only. Sorry, but we can't have meetings on Fridays.
