Which is fine as long as you understand that the rest of us don't. Most of the push for back to the office is being pushed by extroverted people that miss being about to chat with people and not because of any results driven data.
- gmueckl 2y agoPeople can be introvert and still enjoy lunch and coffee breaks with company. Please don't put blame on broad stereotypes like that.
- lifeisstillgood 2y agoDon’t think I am a hale and hearty sales lead. I crave quiet me time as much as the next. But the most productive times in a long and varied career have almost always involved a room with 3-5 other focused people. (That and being on my lonesome doing my own thing - which is great but less team work). As for focusing on results - no thanks. Unless those in the hierarchy get to be judged on those same openly published metrics - no way.
- tegiddrone 2y agoAt least in my experience, while I am good at text/email communication: my co workers were not. I feel like being a full remote company crippled us in terms of engineering quality. We have more of a license to be left alone and that sucks when we actually do need to coordinate with our coworkers. Easier to just not coordinate and tune out the notifications. All said, maybe it is a larger issue and working from the office is just addressing symptoms that are more apparent when going remote. Are we really missing out on those water cooler talks or is there a missing information/management role. I think of how I've had the conversations with other teams around the occasional virtual water cooler "oh, you're building a microservice to do that... so are we.... why are we building the same microservice?"
