If you're requiring the people to be onsite two days a week, you're acknowledging that the tools are only partly successful...and you're also screaming loudly that you don't trust your people.
For many people, the issue with remote work is really nothing to do with the technology nowadays, but really about culture and behaviour exhibited by their managers and peers.
A strong and functional remote team IS a strong team regardless of the remote nature. The effectiveness comes from embracing the new and leading, and participating, with purpose. The remote aspect is irrelevant to the employer's success, but integral to the satisfaction and lifestyle of the worker.
This is spot on. Old school management insecurities are too prevalent in an industry that claims to be leading the future.
I’ve worked remotely as a software developer for a decade. I’ve never been more productive in my life. I wouldn’t accept my current position until I had a guarantee that I could remain a remote worker. Best decision I’ve made in my career.
These companies that tout green policies and then require their employees to commute to the office, which is in no way good for the environment, are a bit hypocritical. We could have learned many things during pandemic lockdowns. It’s a shame so few actually paid attention to the lessons.
