Wonder if any of these "physical-first" office-oriented companies might consider potential incentives to get people to go in:
1. Besides hybrid <5 day per week in-office cultures, what about expecting only half-day attendance? Would it be feasible to expect employees to only be in office during a certain set of core hours, where in-person meetings and collaboration takes place? Almost like Khan Academy but for work.
2. Getting rid of open office layouts and giving people their own offices. That will drastically improve the in-office experience for nearly the majority of workers. People have forgotten about the scourge of open offices but pre-pandemic, they were almost universally despised, at least on places like HN.
- humanwhosits 5y agoPeople want to move further away to lower housing costs. Commuting in for a half day seems demoralizing
- Apocryphon 5y agoSure, but that’s not universal. Certainly the best approach is to offer remote to those who prefer that. But for those who live close enough to the office, and are positive to agnostic about going in, maybe a half day is a good way to feel not trapped in the office, and to beat the traffic.
