I am all for wfh, but now as a part owner of a business which is growing fast enough so most customer facing staff cant keep up, I am considering a hybrid. The knowledge just does not propagate and all the colab apps in the world will not help if you have 3 shifts. Virtual meetings with cams off or even on, you dont know if the people follow. I dislike paying for an office but it seems unavoidable. I dont think half the team is doing nothing , I know for sure, seen the dev commits etc. And if they do something, they do not do it right or efficiently, despite procedures written down to the t and many training.

> if you have 3 shifts Unless all 3 shifts are occuring at the same time in the same place, which would be 1 shift, you have the exact same problem. Your different shifts are physically seperated and are not even online at the same time as each other - thus knowledge transfer etc must be done with a method that does not involve sitting next to the other person at the same time. Even mroe restrictive than wfo/wfh where workers are working physically seperated at the same time. As for not working instead of working and not paying attention in meetings - that is a whole different problem (having been at in-person meetings where collegues have fallen asleep - it is by no means exclusive to wfh). Ultimately that is where the overpaid middle managers are meant to be earing their wages.
