How about a face to face meeting once per quarter?
- paulcole 3y agoWhy not a face-to-face meeting everyday? It’s what some people prefer.
- tiernano 3y agoSome people, yes, but not everyone.
- dylan604 3y agobecause it's as obvious as the nose on your face it is not what all prefer.

- paulcole 3y agoBut you can then also see that it’s obvious that people who like seeing people face-to-face every day do not prefer this: > How about a face to face meeting once per quarter?
- midasuni 3y agoNobody’s stopping you from doing whatever you want. You want to pay for an office building and sit it it that’s fine. The problem comes when you try to stop what others want.
- dionidium 3y agoNobody can make you work in an office if you don't want to. Organizations should obviously be free to demand it and you should be free to work somewhere else if you don't want to.
- paulcole 3y ago1. Nobody’s stopping anyone. If you’ll only work for a remote company, nobody’s forcing you to come back into the office. Just get a new remote job and quit. 2.Even if your job is forcing you to do something you don’t like, that’s not a problem. If I want to use Windows and the company only lets people use Macs, then that’s not a problem. It’s a rule that either I’ll comply with or I won’t work there anymore. If a company decides to be in-person-only then the people who want to work at a remote-only company won’t work there (or they will).
- x86x87 3y agoThis sounds good in theory. I have a problem with giving bogus reasons for RTO. If corpos would be honest about this and provide the right incentives we wpuld not have a problem
- dylan604 3y ago1) Nobody is preventing you from working for a tyrant like Twit…er X and be forced to work in the office everyday (as long as they’ve paid their rent). Forcing 100% in office is nothing less than tyrannical behavior. If you don’t like their WFH policy, go work somewhere else To sum up your summary, that’s why we’re seeing companies lose employees faster than they anticipated.
- paulcole 3y ago> Forcing 100% in office is nothing less than tyrannical behavior. If you don’t like their WFH policy, go work somewhere else From the perspective of those who prefer in-office work, how is this any different from forcing a WFH policy on everyone? Why is that not tyrannical behavior?
- michaelmrose 3y agoHow do we effectively give that minority what they want without forcing it on the majority? If you have 8 guys who don't come in and 4 who do its not really like working in an in office company you will end up relying on remote tools in order to include the other fellows anyway. It logically will be almost like working remotely but with a commute. At that point do you want to drive in to have a zoom meeting?
- jen20 3y agoWhat happens when you have two office locations, even a few blocks apart in the same city? Or two floors in the same tower?
- michaelmrose 3y agoLogically you end up using remote tools and you might as well connect to those from your desk at home.
- jen20 3y agoIndeed - this happens between people on two floors of a building I often visit, even when their offices are directly above/below one another!
- paulcole 3y agoReally, that’s your logical conclusion? For many people the separation between home and work has real value and for many people (particularly younger people with roommates in smaller apartments) their homes don’t have a dedicated workspace with a desk. The WeWorK I go to has nicer furniture, Internet, and lighting than my home. It is in no way logical for me to work out of my apartment.
- michaelmrose 3y agoYou need a minimum of 4x5 workspace and a full size mattress is about 5.5 x 6 a twin closer to 3x6. Even an apartment bedroom 10x12 can accommodate both in an L. Gig internet is also a lot cheaper than commuting or we work. If you are a professional there is little excuse not to have a desk and fast Internet at home. Doing tech support I was always shocked to see some folks including techies angry that their elcheapo Internet plan with 10 year old rented equipment downstairs wasn't working well for their hyper important job. Invest in yourself a bit.
