> I just find it frustrating and unproductive compared to being in the same room with my team. I agree with you here, but I haven’t been in the same room with my team in 20 years. People are distributed now and there’s not really a way I know to get everyone in the same room since there’s different cities and countries, commutes, etc. It was really fun and productive to be part of a small team building stuff with back to back offices and cubes. But I’m not 20 any more and neither is anyone on my team. Before the pandemic we never had everyone in one place. So while it’s nice to have everyone at the same life stage and location to allow for in person work, that’s not possible any more. So I think remote is better than the hybrid of what we had before.
