This except my job doesn’t require collaboration, or when it does, it’s editing a document, which is more easily done on teams and sharing a screen. We even have data to show productivity loss from the time spent commuting…but collaboration, team
Building, bla-bla-bla [/quote]

Yup, same.

People in our agency are being required to go in 1x per week or 2x per pay period.  I am remote but on days that I go in, it's a ghost town.  Very few people, no meetings are being conducted in person, everything is still on teams, and nobody is actually collaborating and nothing has been suggested by management to facilitate such collaboration.  It's just butts in seats in a dreary, rat infested building.[/quote]

I've heard people use this description of our office. They are wrong (except for the rats). There is so much more efficiency and creativity in person for many things. [/quote]

I mean…not when you go in and don’t actually talk to anyone about work. I might work in PP’s rat infested buildings. We go in 1/week and there’s some socializing but I haven’t had any work related in person discussions because the people I actually collaborate with for the most part are in a different geographic location in the first place. I do think socializing has some benefits and I think the workplace into the future may be different in that way but coming in just for some chit chat which may or may not happen depending on who else is there that day seems pretty silly.[/quote]
