while it sounds good, i dont think this works universally. The problem with letting workers choose themselves is that the workplace might not be setup properly for it - e.g., if some workers chose WFH, but there's no good culture for meetings to be held remotely, they miss out or must actively get informed via alternative channels.
Or if a worker choose office, but they're the only one on location (and all their colleagues chose WFH), then they might not actually get the benefits of an office (such as socialization or face to face meetings & body language communications).
So self-sorting thru companies might be a better option.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoWhile self-sorting through companies sounds good, individual preference is actually the better option. Sorry. > Or if a worker choose office, but they're the only one on location (and all their colleagues chose WFH), then they might not actually get the benefits of an office. The correct answer here is not to mandate a return to work so that this guy has office play mates. He can re-skill himself to be effective without an office. Catch up or flunk out. We spend our own time leveling up on tech. It's not too much to ask someone to level up on getting the work done outside the office.

- kelseyfrog 4y agoNo. I mean cease to work until reskilling.
