I prefer working with my team.

Years ago, when telecommuting was the bright future, I thought working from home would be great. I don't anymore. I'm more productive when I'm with the people I work with. We can discuss stuff, help each other, etc. More team cohesion, more cooperation, more knowledge sharing, more working in the same direction.

I enjoy working with my team as well but I think there’s a happy medium to be struck. It’s not a binary of :: have your attention constantly pulled or being hidden away and unavailable for collaboration.
Agreed with you. I like being able to shoot off questions in person, and I like being asked questions in person. Four days a week at work is ideal.
And the fifth day with my kids. I find a 32 hour work week plenty.
