        eh, as usual the best option is one that let’s people choose.

        Hubs can’t wfh, he completely loses any and all definition of set work time

            Missed the earlier post where i mentioned other devs as well, huh.

            I’ve been doing tech for 25 years, we have terrible work life boundary issues. (And yes, i have been wfh since 2015)

        Hybrid is the best. There are certain types of work which needs my undivided attention and collaboration with my team; office. Other work which I can do slowly and alone; home.

        HR: “But what about the bond? Team building exercises. Company morale. It will fall apart-”

        Can you shut the fck up?

      I work at one of the top ten data processors in the world.

      ALL of our devs have been WFH since 2014 and produce better work now than ever.

        At what cost to themselves?

        Willing to bet they work a minimum of 150% of the hours they’re paid for

          I dunno man, they’re really happy with the work life balance and the C-suites are happy with their productivity.

          It’s funny even our sales and logistics departments are wfh, and the only people I ever see on the off chance I need to load a tape rack or something is security and building maintenance.

          And we’ve been RIDICULOUSLY profitable all through covid. In fact covid only served to show the remaining staff how productive WFH is.

          We are making so much money rn that they don’t even CARE about property costs and they leave the lights and AC on 24/7 for maybe 2 people in the entire site, and our 3 satellite sites are just as empty.

          Sure there may be some A type salesbro personalities that need to be around others to work effectively, the largely spectrum oriented development community needs no such frippery.
