 Someone I know works at a company that moved him to 100% remote. He moved to another city. Sold his car. Now the new CEO wants them in the office 5 days a week. The guy I know is going to stop working entirely and wait for them to let him go. Stupid management decision by CEO. 
 @340b83fb silliness. My company has taken a small step - if you live near one of our offices they’re asking you to come in once a month for “office day” and for teams to arrange schedules around interactive work activities so it’s valuable. Plus free lunch. It seems popular so far. 

I am totally remote so nobody’s asking me anything but I do drive 2.5 hours to the nearest office about once a month for working sessions with my boss, which I enjoy. 

There’s a smart middle way in all this.
