> You say all this as if "both sides" of this have equal power. No, I said I didnt understand the vehemence. > The reality is that if you need more flexible working arrangements Yes, I don't think I'm going ever really go back full time. Currently, I come in ~twice a week. I've worked with remote singular and remote offices for years(10+) before covid. Its been part of tech for a long time. Even my dad has be doing remote since the early 90s (if not more) If you have decent planning, ticketing and retros then you'll know if your remote(or any other) team are not performing well. > Essentially, it can't work unless everyone adopts a remote-first approach where major discussions happen in writing out in the open. I just don't think that's right. Sure people need to be included in the "room" to make the decision, but that's not the same a remote vs office. Decisions are only a tiny part, the rest is execution and unblocking. don't get me wrong, you need to have a culture of respect and brining people up to speed, siloing doesn't work well.
