How do you feel about the serendipity of conversations at work, in a remote-first environment!

by•
Many love working remotely, but serendipity moments in the office can be lacking, "Serendipitous moments are those that can happen by chance, EX: like a coffee break that would happen through a physical structure."

Yes. I love those moments, especially the casual talk with people in the same project during a coffee break. However, I enjoy working from home as well. That's why I choose 2/5 work from office and 3/5 work from home. lol

@frankie_zhang Great, you've found a good balance

I value casual interactions with my peers at the office. They are difficult to recreate in a remote environment. The only way I've been able to get these regular face-to-face meetings is by holding them offline.

@shaur_ul_asar I completely agree with you

I've discover a new word thanks to you :D. Well, the advantages of the remote are the disadvantages of the office (concentration, calmness etc..) and vice versa. The best is to combine remote and office in my opinion.

@benjamin_arne Combining remote and desktop to create a hybrid model is probably the best solution, always keeping an agile aspect

I think you need to have a dynamic and energetic environment at work to push serendipity. It's impossible when you are in remote (but maybe with Metaverse... young people will find their way)

I believe that the overall situation is different, especially when it comes to remote coffee breaks. You have to sit in front of your screen for an online one, whereas the in-person break can be more organic and does not require planning.
