What do fellow founders think about the "Return to the office wave" that (Elon) started?

Question

A fellow founder sent me this link about the Return to the office wave. As a founder of a company that has been fully remote since pandemic, I would love to hear your thoughts about this trend. What do you think about it? What is the main reason you decided to return to the office full/part-time? What is the biggest pain of working remotely that made you change your mind and decide to get back to the office?

Here is the link about this trend: https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/the-scoop-rto/

I enjoy working remotely so does our team.

Wouldn’t switch back to the office system just because it’s a trend - doesn’t make sense for us. :D

Could be more applicable for big companies- might work for them.

@avadhoot_kulk Thanks for sharing. Is there anything that you miss about working in the same room (office)?

Avad · Answer

@tadej_jevsevar yep I do miss watetcooler discussions at times - we make sure to arrange sessions for that working remotely.

@avadhoot_kulk nice. I would love to hear how you do it in your team. Like scheduled zoom calls or what?
