I think that in our field people work better together - more collaboration, knowledge transfer, teamwork and ultimately better solutions delivered. I also believe that people are more motivated and engaged, and work harder and with more focus in a shared workspace outside of the home. I was on the fence going into the remote work experiment, but everything I’ve seen since supports my feelings above. I’ve seen less of the good stuff and a lot more slacking off. I think the level of flexibility we had before was about right for knowledge work. I could always get a day or two from home when I wanted some solo focus. I could always shift working hours to fit around life, or take a few hours out of the office for a personal errand. That was enough flexibility for me even though office was the focal point. I don’t think being asked to go back to the office with that kind of dynamic is overbearing or in any way unreasonable.
