I’m a strong believer in requiring all office/majority computer using roles to be at least hybrid if for no other reasons than to take cars off the road, but the societal benefits of mass remote work are immense.
I’ve worked remotely more than not since 2020 (and that’s with 5 job changes since 2020 somehow) and if I got to pick, I’d work a hybrid role where I go to the nice office and bullshit with my coworkers about all the little things that weren’t worth writing an email or Teams message about a few days a month, then go home and crank out the real work the rest of the time. And with kids, they clearly appreciate me being at home more than at the office even if I do have to shoe them away fairly frequently.
