As a manager I see my job as finding ways to do my job with the least intrusiveness on my peoples preferred working style. I’ll posit constructing a workflow that depends on random events to be effective isn’t effective or predictable, and your challenge can be solved in other ways than requiring employees to do something they don’t want to for your convenience. If you work in a global company you’ll often have teams spread out between locations. You can’t ask everyone to get together a few days a week. That’s been true since global teams were possible. How did they ever function before the pandemic? Frankly not as well as they do after.
