Do you prefer remote, hybrid or in-person?

by•
Personally I like hybrid remote with the option of going in whenever.

Both, but I don't like labeling it or being locked into a specific way of working (like 2 days a week in the office). I get tired of always being at home and want to go into the office, and I get tired of the commute so want to work from home. Some weeks I'll work from home, some weeks from the office, some weeks both. My start-up is in this space and I've worked with 100s of companies who all have a slightly different take on hybrid/remote-first/flex-space/flex-work but one thing is common: you need to know when people are planning on working, and where from. And the challenges extend beyond just knowing when your team is working. Bigger companies that have a canteen need to know how much food to stock. Site managers need to know if there are first aiders in the office. And even if the office is open on a given day. So far, none of them use it to keep tabs that people are meeting a minimum usage.

I personally prefer the remote option. I hope in-person doesn't come back in style for awhile. I enjoy being able to do work from home, this is my little piece of heaven =)

@lysten_inc Little piece of heaven is a great way of describing it! I call it my little kingdom but your sounds a lot cooler haha

Com'on that's an unfair question, anyone who loves the beach will indulge sometime into a trip on the mountains :P I think remote makes everyone's life better, this being said, it's great to meet in person once a while. What do you think @saifali97 ?

@saifali97 @raul_silverstone Ahah that's one funny way of putting it :D
David Tedaldi
@saifali97 @raul_silverstone So... beach == remote, office == mountain?
Saif Ali
@raul_silverstone Loool thats a great analogy :p I prefer hybrid remote so I don't necessarily have to go but I can whenever I want. Must be a psychological thing lmao.. Makes me feel autonomous and productive.

Hybrid! I prefer to be in the office but I do like having the option of working from home.
Saif Ali
@inesfenner Yeah I love working from home but having the option of going in physically with all the available amenities makes it super nice!
Sandra Djajic
@saifali97 Definitely! Just having the option and not feeling restricted is great.

For me, hybrid works well. There are times when you get bored at home, and you need a change to deal with that.
Saif Ali
@gurpinder_singh True! Sometimes I need to hear my coworker's lame jokes to get the mood right lol. But other times I'll wake up and be like "meh, not today".
Gurpinder Singh
@saifali97 exactly!

Hybrid mode works well for me
Saif Ali

Divya

I prefer remote. I can do everything quickly without the distractions of an office setting.
Saif Ali
@siena_romes Hmm interesting, what would you say distracted you the most in an office setting?
Siena Romes
@saifali97 co-workers were always talking even if it was working hours. there were a lot of gossiping instead of actual working.
Kate Unzhakova
remote only! 😀
Saif Ali
@katerina_unzhakova1 Niiice. Have you worked hybrid or in person?
Kate Unzhakova
@saifali97 yes, both. I've worked in a classical office, and as a freelancer and as a part-time employer, and maybe something else))
