I hope it doesn't become a 2 days in office 3 days at home "remote". That's the worst of both worlds! Now I need:
2 chairs
2 desks
2-6 monitors
A home large enough for office space; that's also:
Close enough to the office for the commuting days (and keeping up on the car / transport that entails)
I admit some things seem to work better in person; and having a personal relationship with coworkers can be good and really only done by in person meetings.
For a "blended" office/remote work then I think it should be 1 week in office every 1-2 months. Then living farther away and traveling / renting an extra vehicle makes sense. And the office can be a quarter the staff size, while a week is long enough for people to bring keyboards and things to set up "their" office for the week.
Backend generalist. 10+ years coding professionally. Enjoys coming up with nuanced and thoughtful solutions to complex, thorny and ugly problems in old systems.
I like the sound of 1 week every couple months. Pre-COVID, that was the cadence (not formally, mind you, just worked out this way) for some of our remote teammates. Even a few times a year can be really helpful, just for putting people to Slack handles and building some informal/social rapport with coworkers.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
