Well, you will get control over employees that show up. The rest are passed over until they leave.
If I had a choice to manage a team hybrid in person or manage fully remote, I would always pick in person.
I think it will naturally move back to more in person just because those are going to be the higher functioning teams with the higher functioning managers.
- christhecaribou 2y agoWhat evidence is there that they’re “higher functioning”? You’re the exact type of manager I now screen for in job interviews.
- d0gsg0w00f 2y agoIf the whole team is remote then everyone is on the same level. However, If any are colocated then there's going to be a rift, guaranteed. As soon as the majority is colocated then the all of a sudden remote workers start unintentionally getting cut out of decisions. I've seen it happen every time. It becomes a lot of work for the manager to stop everyone from talking casually in the office. Next thing you know they're making hiring decisions based on colocation. So keep it all remote or all colocated is my advice. But if you have two teams, one colocated and the other remote, it's twice as much work for the remote team to do the same work as the colocated team. Not impossible, just really hard and a total waste of management brain cycles that could be spent thinking about strategy.
