I’m a middle manager in my 40s. I’ve been going into the office since the fall, but was fully WFH during covid before that and made the decision to go back in purely due to personal convenience. My company continues to offer employees flexibility and has not mandated RTO. That said, we have a lot of team members in the firm in their early 20s, their first jobs. I’ve noticed a preference for those team members to RTO (at least a few days a week), and that a good deal of learning and camaraderie result. It is certainly far easier for me to mentor such folks in the office (especially since most aren’t on my team) than when we’re siloed at home. More senior folks prefer remote — it’s generally easier to balance family demands. But ones who’ve joined the team having been fully remote from the start have even expressed difficulty coming up to speed, despite everyone on the team being transparent and working to solve the issue. It takes new habits and they’re hard to learn.
