Imagine if laws were passed for the sake of emissions that if an employee is able to work from home then you cannot force them into office more than 2 days a week.
2 days? No it should be that if the employee is able to wfh they should be able to.
Yeah I agree with that too. I say 2 days because that's currently what the minimum is for our company now and I am seeing the benefit of coming in to collaborate with other team members face to face where you normally wouldn't have unless you were really diligent in meeting over zoom. That which I didn't realise/believe before. Then there's the downside where anyone can approach you at any time and annoy the shit out of you with their mindless ramblings about any shit that comes to their mind whilst trying to concentrate. That being said, it's all subject to different work structures. If there is no team and only reporting to a manager then yeah why not wfh full time...
In truly flexible work cultures, teams chose their working style as a group. If that means y'all pick 2 days a week to voluntarily commute, go for it. Me on my team of 1 will absolutely not be going in to collaborate. Even 100% of unscheduled discussions happen asynchronously
