My wife returned to a hybrid schedule a couple of months ago. Every day she has to drive to work (30 minute commute, +- 10 minutes with traffic) taxes her emotionally and physically. She only goes in two days per week, and her actions and mental state are noticeably different on those days. She doesn’t really collaborate at all while she is there; there’s little value in her being present. Why demean people like this? Seems like a combination of management ego and sunk cost fallacy for existing leases.
I've got a home office but still rent out a desk not far from home. Get a lot more focus/"in the zone" time there, also it's nice to have work colleagues who you don't actually work with, best of both worlds in my opinion.
Totally agree with Grimburger - get an office at an executive suite, or some place like that. Regus is really nice. Always in Class A buildings, totally well-appointed. Kitchen, fridge, internet. You can start working the same day you sign your lease - everything is ready to go.
You can do month-to-month to start to see how you like it.
Yeah, I dropped out of office life and went remote during the 2009 downturn. We didn't have all the videoconferencing tools back then. Can't imagine wanting to be burdened with a physical office for what I do.
