There’s definitely a balance to be found. Full remote works for some companies and people but I don’t think it’s an appropriate model for most office jobs. I’ve done full remote for 1.5 years during Covid and am glad to be able to return to work, if only to see other people.
Being able to work remotely around half the time is great. Being able to consolidate those days in order to spend some time with family living far away is even better.
I can see where you’re coming from with the mindset that one needs a-types to be working together in a single place all the time, but that really only works for specific jobs, and if you have a lot of key jobs in the same location. Having people be 100% on-site in a remote office, where they can spend all day zooming with people in headquarters make no sense, for example.
