As soon as a requirement is made that an employee be in the office on a semi-regular basis, remote works is no longer an option. Frequent WFH days are still possible, sure, but that is a different beast than remote work.
I wonder how much of the benefits you describe could be gained by instead flying everyone out for two weeks to work together in an office, maybe 3 or 4 times every year.
- polishdude20 5y agoThat would work well for people without kids. Kinda sucks for the people with kids. Now you not only have to find a nanny for when you go on vacation, you need a nanny for when you work. This is coming from a guy who doesnt any have kids himself mind you.
- mbg721 5y agoThe two-weeks-away four-times-a-year thing absolutely wouldn't work for parents, but anybody with kids who's trying to do a full day's productive work from home long-term has got to have either a spouse watching them or some kind of day-care regardless. I can't imagine thinking "I don't need a nanny, I'm in the home-office."
