Except for Microsoft Teams, because they don't need that now, right?
My wife does two days in the office and that sounds ideal to me. Really strange that lemmy generally sees zero benefits to the office.
For example, I went in to met a coworker and fix her laptop. While I was there the devs in front of me were discussing a thing that my team was working on. I didn't know they needed that thing and they didn't know we were working on it. I took new information back to my group.
While bullshitting with the tech support manager I learned some things about their policies and procedures. Found out I had made incorrect assumptions and learning about those helped me in my role.
We're social animals y'all.

Ok, but that just demostrate that you have no communication between teams. You get the information by sheer luck. have you been there 10 minutes earlier/later you would have missed it.

Again, non clear communication between teams and again you got the information by sheer luck.
True, it has happened because you both were in the office but in a sane environment you would have knows these thing because they would have been documented.
I could give you great stories about the benefits of working from home too.
I agree we are social animals but we are also in varying life stages, we have different needs and wants, we are diverse as a species. Flexibility is the answer, not one size fits all now and forever.
I 100% agree with you (even though it will get the both of us downvoted into oblivion). The important part is that it only works if everyone is in the office at basically the same time.otherwise you’re just the lone guy sitting in there for no benefit.
I will 100% choose a company or team that is in the office over one that isn’t. Half remote is THE WORST. Trying to have an in person meeting, and then the remote people whining they aren’t included in decisions, or they don’t know the details. Every meeting is a half robotic nightmare as everyone in the room fumes that you have to spend 20 minutes getting all the remote people on the screen and dealing with mic issues when this could have be a 5 minute hallway chat.
