[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think there is value to meeting in person with colleagues, but the problem is that in many workplaces you don’t do that even in the office because the people you actually collaborate with are in other places. I just turned down a job at a FAANG because they have a hard 3 days in office policy, even though the recruiter told me that I wouldn’t have any teammates in my office, and one of the people I spoke to told me she badges in and then leaves straight away, because checking in is monitored, but leaving is not and since she doesn’t work with anyone in that office, there is no reason to stay (and it’s actually harder to work there than at home as you have to find spots to take calls, etc). What a waste of time![/quote]

I work for a GSIB and same. They've downsized office space and being on calls all the time with dozens of other people also on calls within earshot is painful. On the rare instances I do collaborate with colleagues in office we get yelled at for disrupting others by speaking in the open workspace. There's like three focus rooms so that's not a viable option most of the time. [/quote]
