    Sure, some people work better when surrounded by colleagues. Those people usually know that and will seek out on-site work, because it probably also makes them happier.

    People who are more efficient at home probably also feel better at home and will seek out remote work.

    If you want a much smaller hiring pool, more office upkeep costs and more transport emissions, sure make everyone come into the office… it’s so dumb to do this.

    IMO if your sector lends itself to remote work and it’s not working for your company, you’re doing something else wrong.

      A lot of my colleagues want for everyone to be in office. Their justification is “well, when everyone is in office, I can just walk to a person and ask them for help”. Which is why it’s a bit annoying to work there as a knowledgeable person, everyone always asking you to help them, constantly.
      Guess where are all the knowledgeable people going.

        As a more extroverted person and a people-pleaser, people wanting my help is the dream. Also great for negotiating wages.

        But yeah I can see how it can be annoying too!

          It’s nice sometimes, when you don’t have anything better to do. Sharing the knowledge is a genuine pleasure.
          It’s infuriating if you need to focus on something.
