Interesting. When Hybrid was made as a decision, where there any data points that were considered in that decision, or was it just made from the start, or top down?

Do you think its not possible to have the same levels of collaboration remotely if the culture adjusts for remote only type expectations?

(I rarely get to ping decision makers about these things, I apologize for the intrusion, I'm trying to gather as much data on this as possible recently)

All 3 founders worked remotely at larger companies during the pandemic and when we started the company in late '21 we knew we wanted to be hybrid, so it was made top down from the start. For a small team, I personally think there are culture and productivity benefits for being in person. I think other companies have shown remote is absolutely viable for small and large companies, but to your point, there has to be a lot of intention around it. I don't buy into the dogmatic views of hybrid vs remote: I think it's more about understanding what's right for you and the company, and as a leader making the culture, policy, and practices work for what you want. For me and Dopt, hybrid has been a dream :)
