I don't plan to ever return. It pains me to think how much of my youth was wasted commuting, being tired / less than 100%, and overall just wrecking my health

I don't plan to ever return. It pains me to think how much of my youth was wasted commuting, being tired / less than 100%, and overall just wrecking my health for preconceptions around "how work is done".
Is there a real reason to need folks in the office for most tech work?
I can understand timezones being an issue with remote work, but at that point just don't hire in lots of disparate timezones. Still, I work with folks that wake up when I get off work, so I don't get it.
Communication is the key, and it doesn't magically get better by going to an office. All you get is a false sense of control.
- m0oncake 3y agoHow would you say timezones are an issue with remote work? It's not like they would be any different if people were going into an office.
- codr7 3y agoIt is pretty rare to have people from different time zones in the same office though.
- diob 3y agoI agree with you, it comes down to communication. If folks can't communicate ideas clearly (written), then your team will suffer regardless of location.
- timbit42 3y agoTimezones are an issue if you move out of North America. Some people move to Latin America so the timezones are similar. Moving to Asia is tricky unless you like to work all night and sleep during the day.
