The WFH was kinda imposed. I admit unlike some I was/am lucky. The wider team had been stable a while before we where sent home so we had a fair foundation.
My job is web based so fortunate able to carry on with minimal disruption. Maybe I am odd but at my age I liked the slower pace - between the mad panics.
My commute (car) was about 45 min each way, so got best part of two hours back, which somehow turned into work.
The return to normal created a lot of senior tension at work; the old school who want presenteeism (?) and those who manage on results not busywork.
I can see a hybrid way working best - attendance with purpose.
~bartender do we have wifi in here?
Attendance with purpose is indeed a good compromise, but really - that idle chitchat by the watercooler/coffee machine is a fantastic device to share ideas.
