I find both sides of the "remote vs in-person" argument rather exhausting and ridiculous.

Of course, both formats have issues. Personally, I like a hybrid remote/local work life.

I thought I wanted fully remote, but it was simply too isolating for me. I like being able to shoot the shit at work with some semi-friends. I think it connects us and adds some value to the whole operation that makes it more than about work, but caring about the people you work with.

That being said, that's just my personal experience. What is good for me might not be good for you.

I too often see people say, "Oh the only people who like in-person work are managers who want to schedule pointless meetings" like hey maybe some people actually just have different needs than you and you shouldn't insult people who may have different experiences.
