Personally, I'm 100% down with a hybrid work week. However, I'd like to see companies introduce "remote weeks", i.e. just like ensuring people have vacation days, the company should enable, perhaps 8 weeks per year of remote/offsite work.
I'd be a much happier worker knowing I had multiple opportunities to visit distant family for more than a long weekend, travel internationally, do some adventures, etc, as long as I logged in and worked. Usually when I'm doing those things anyway I have downtime that I tend to spend on things that are, at least, work-adjacent.
- asadlionpk 5y agoGoogle has announced these too. 4 weeks of work from anywhere, exactly as you described them.
- bowmessage 5y agoCould be even nicer if they're prescribed all-at-once for all employees, now that I think about it. Similar to how a global reset day is nicer in some ways than an extra day of PTO.
- listenallyall 5y agoFollow someone else's prescribed schedule? Wouldn't you rather visit relatives on their birthdays? Take a ski trip in January, instead of someone telling you the first off-week will be late March? What if you and your spouse/partner's companies define different weeks?
