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

I'm all in on hybrid. I get so much energy when in person with the team. But not having to commute or shower right after a lunch run makes life so great on the other days.

@brenna_donoghue YES! I have a 1 hr commute time and some mornings it can become hectic. Though I listen to podcasts on the way to make it bearable lol. Wbu? Any commute activities?
@saifali97 my commute is an hour as well. In the past I was close enough to run or bike to work which was a great way to start the day. But now that I take the train I try to ease into the day reading. My kindle is getting some serious time!
@saifali97 Any podcasts you recommend?
remote only! 😀
@katerina_unzhakova1 Niiice. Have you worked hybrid or in person?
@saifali97 yes, both. I've worked in a classical office, and as a freelancer and as a part-time employer, and maybe something else))

Hybrid, but with offices already updated to the new remote-first reality. I guess LinkedIn did a great job on that. Definetelly will keep an eye on their experimentation on this
mainly in-person; sometimes hybrid when I need to really focus.
@saifali97 Sometimes yes. It depends on the type of work and my mood 😅. For deep focus (which I struggle to achieve), I prefer to work in silence.
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
I am 100% remote for many years, so I can hardly imagine going to the office ever again.
BUT it's super nice to meet your coworkers in person, especially outside of work:)
@katyaveremeichik Wow that must be awesome. Has the overall culture of remote work shifted massively after the pandemic? I know it's more common now ofcourse but any general trends you may have noticed?
@saifali97 well... the sift was so massive it's hard to ignore:) before the pandemic, those lucky few working from home were envied by everyone, and now (from what I've heard, I haven't checked the following info) the Netherlands are making remote work a legal right. Remote work is not going anywhere. Many companies are asking people to go back to the office, but they can't really answer the question "why?". After a short adjustment period productivity at home is just the same as in the offfice, expenses are lower for both the company and the employee, and technology allows total engagement in the work process without physical presence. I don't know the correlation between working remotely and the company's revenue, but I imagine it will not be possible to calculate accurately because of the state of the market during the pandemic and right now as well. So, the answer to "why?" is probably "because I say so":)))
Oh, Hi Market!
Remote and may be sometimes hybrid :)
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 prefer remote, the flexibility to work from anywhere has been such a life upgrade for me!
@ebbacronqvist Ah so you're a digital nomad?! Love it. Sometimes I'll take zoom calls while walking my dog and it simply doesn't get better :D
@saifali97 Nah wouldn't call myself that, mostly working from same place. Based in Stockholm but have done some longer "workcations" to work elsewhere which I highly recommend :)
I have personally only worked fully remote. But I think my favorite scheme would be hybrid!
@martina_hackbartt Lucky! Yeah I don't miss 100% in person days lol although hybrid is perfect. I can go whenever, have some free coffee and talk to my peers in real time

Hybrid! I prefer to be in the office but I do like having the option of working from home.
@inesfenner Yeah I love working from home but having the option of going in physically with all the available amenities makes it super nice!
Hunted Space
@saifali97 Definitely! Just having the option and not feeling restricted is great.
I think I would prefer the hybrid option, with 1 or 2 days in the office and the rest remote!
I like remote working as I can work more efficiently in isolation.
For me, hybrid works well. There are times when you get bored at home, and you need a change to deal with that.
@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".

It's safe to say that remote working is the new standard. However, I prefer a hybrid approach since it allows us to maintain strong social relationships among coworkers through continual physical interaction.
@qudsia_ali Yup! I prefer hybrid remote too since I can go and have real human moments with my coworkers like listening to their lame jokes and laughing regardless lmao. Although the remote part is suuuper nice too
I prefer remote. I can do everything quickly without the distractions of an office setting.
@siena_romes Hmm interesting, what would you say distracted you the most in an office setting?
@saifali97 co-workers were always talking even if it was working hours. there were a lot of gossiping instead of actual working.

remote ofc

depends on the purpose ... I love remote but it's great to meet in person if you want to start a real relationship for example. Having a chance to choose is the best 😉
@dan_muller1 Yeah having a chance to choose IS the best. I don't have to go but that brings more autonomy for me which in turn brings out more self-responsibility leading to higher productivity!

Definitely remote, I appreciate the freedom it comes with from companies that know how to properly conduct remote work (that's the important part)
