I WFH, every year one of the goals that the rest of the team decides is that it’s “so great” to see each other in person. The past few years haven’t worked out but one did. I spent hours in a couple of airports, the huge expense for the company, I spent days away from my family, and for what? So you could look me in my same face you would see if we turned cameras on every once in a while? My husband says I’m being weird, but I legitimately want to know, what is the benefit? I hate being there and have to play nice so you can…look me even closer in the face?

    ive worked on remote and office teams and i think that the asynchronous remote workflow can be more efficient and more easily measured. there’s a paper trail for every conversation that happens. but you also enable dickheads who don’t like to work when you pair them with managers who have no idea what’s going on. ive worked on teams like that too.
