In general (across most software developers at most companies) I think senior people work really well from home, but junior people are missing a lot. In particular: access to senior people.
That could probably be settled with a couple solid, coordinated days during the week. But 3 days doesn't seem unreasonable.
- Cyph0n 4y agoThe problem isn’t the hybrid arrangement - it’s the fact that they’re essentially eliminating remote roles and expect those who are remote to relocate to an office within 2 months.
- Jcowell 4y ago> but junior people are missing a lot. In particular: access to senior people. Junior here. Nope. If I need access to my seniors I message them and they reply when they can. Way better than speaking in person and messing up there flow since: 1. They can take their time formulating a response that’s probably more in depth then if they had to think about my question of the spot. I’m not saying they will I’m saying if my question was a technical one I can expect linked resources that’ll help me understand what they’re teaching me better. 2. The information is retrievable. I can reference it says later while a conversation can be lost and mutated by memory.
- lightbendover 4y agoThere have been exactly 0 times I left a junior hanging for more than a couple hours after they message me on Slack, which happens numerous times a day (raise that to roughly a dozen times per day if including mid-levels). I would absolutely not have bandwidth to go through the motions of pleasant in-person communication in this quantity. We all remember what working in the office was like, it was a bunch of utter bullshit that got in the way of work.
