Discussion on: Are you most probably going to work fully remote?

We definitely see the shifting to fully remote from the biggest companies on the market right now. And this probably will lead that smaller companies follow.
We probably never see a fully remote IT world. But more than 50%? I think it will definitely happen in the nearest future.
We should remember that "remote work" != "work from home". So coworking spaces/small office spaces will be the kings in the future.

I'm working in a remote company (although we have an office) for almost 3 years and I never been happier with my choice.

The question is what is stopping current companies from adopting remote? Because the cost basis seems to be in their favor... Probably the way of working can't be shifted all of a sudden so you need a long transition period.
Also it's a trust and secrecy issue, but this also has solutions.

Yes! All of that has solutions and it's legit and working.

But I think the lack of education on that topic is crucial.
Reasons I've seen:

  • We have a lot of meetings and they aren't working online - you don't need these meetings in the first place.
  • Productivity will decrease dramatically - no it's not. If you correctly inject remote culture productivity will increase.
