Boring


While what you posted may be true, it is too narrow and limited... and doesn't consider that many jobs differ from each other.

A lot of jobs can be done 100% remote. A lot of other jobs need 2-3 days a week in the office. Also plenty of jobs need 100% in person.

There is no one size fits all, and the problem is that a lot of people in groups 2 and 3 ^ are up in arms because they want to be in group 1 even when it limits them from being able to fully perform their jobs.

I think the right way forward (at least in a smaller company where you have good rapport with your supervisor/boss) is to discuss the pros and cons of remote work vs. in-person and negotiate a hybrid schedule if there are aspects of your job that just need the in-person.

I totally agree with this. I think many offices could employ a hybrid schedule and satisfy the majority of their desk job workers with a 2 days in office/3 days WFH situation. I worked from home for 4 years pre-covid, and it worked well. But there were times when I was called into the office to work on projects, and I couldn’t deny that there were clear benefits to in-person collaboration as well. Productivity is an interesting thing. I think too much time in the office can lead to apathy and distraction, while too much time out of the office can lead to procrastination and creativity stifling. Businesses who can afford to switch to a hybrid system might actually benefit while satisfying their employees. Could be a win-win.
