How do you know your team would be more effective in any given configuration? Do you have some metrics you can share? Above such metrics, what if working in the office meant losing a couple of folks who turned out to be highly efficient but wanted to work from home and you could only find less effective replacements? What if the opposite were true?
People are constantly arguing back and forth about whether WFH or office is more productive and the various pitfalls but actual evidence is sparse. And second order effects just throw everything out. I think we'll be talking about it for a long time and it's still company and personal preference.
- city41 3y agoYeah, I don't know any of that. I'm just speaking from my perspective. For example I notice communication is harder. A Slack thread becomes a video call and screenshare, and I am pretty sure it would be a lot more efficient and effective to just walk over to someone's desk. I don't know if that is actually the case, just what I intuit from seeing our day to day.
- jemmyw 3y agoInteresting. I would spend a lot of time going over to others' desks in the office but I do prefer screenshare now. It's clearer what they are trying to show and I can have the code files open in my own editor at the same time. You lose some of the adhoc but gain some clarity.
