A primary factor in choosing my latest job was having an office to go into. I’ve been going in M-F and love working in person again. I don’t think forcing everyone back is necessarily the right strategy, but instead encouraging teams to re-form around people with similar preferences.

I've also been going in 4 days a week since we signed our office lease a few months ago, I really like it. We still do full remote (since day 1, back in 2018!) but I find that the office really helps with communication, especially amongst leadership. Doesn't bother me if any of the devs are FT remote, but I definitely prefer seeing the CEO, head of business, head of product, etc. all in person.

I haven’t been going into the office M-F but I’m up to a couple days a week and it’s been good to recalibrate to what a full day in the office feels like. The morning ritual of preparation. The commute creating bookends to the workday. Going out to lunch or grabbing drinks after work with colleagues. Maybe I’m the only one, but I really let myself go during part of the pandemic and by going back to the office it feels like I’m coming out of it in some way. I may go back to the office full time for a while just to know I’m making the decision to work remotely for the right reason and not because I ended up that way 2 years ago.

I'm feeling that this is the new contrarian take
