You can have the best of both worlds where you WFH and also your company pays for you to come out once every 3 months for a week or so.

- notreallyserio 5y agoI haven't gone to an offsite meeting with my coworkers yet (we're 100% remote) so I don't really know what to expect of them. I do know that when I worked in offices there was a lot of bullshit going on every day that only happened because the barrier to interruption was lower. What goes on at these offsite meetings that makes them worthwhile?
- strikelaserclaw 5y agoI usually just expect to drink booze and shoot the shit with my team. There are usually team building activities arranged by HR, that is another way get to know your teammates. In my opinion, getting a little inebriated is the fastest way to bond with your team.
- nonameiguess 5y agoThis is exactly what I do right now and it's pretty nice. We have quarterly planning weeks and everyone goes on-site for that, but otherwise, we're split around the country and there is only one office in downtown San Antonio. 70% of the people working on this program don't live in San Antonio, so there is no practical way to undo being a distributed workforce. But it's a military program and the military is pretty used to working in a distributed manner. They need to be able to work in theaters of combat where you're not only spread out and constantly on the move, but any node in your worker network can go offline at any time, possibly permanently.
