MODERATORS
Manager at a big tech company here. I’ve been fortunate to have been WFH since 2012, and my team is a diverse set of amazing developers from all across North America. Our company has started taking the position that new hires should be in office, and anyone close enough to an office should be in office — so I’ve informed my staff that if any of them gets any sort of demand they return to office to let me know so I can help void that as quickly as possible. I won’t be in their office (I don’t even live in a city that has an office…), and neither will any of their coworkers, so having any of them report to an office would be purely performative.
We’re developers. Many are somewhat introverted, and all are amazing with technology and already know how to use online technologies to work and collaborate together. I’ll continue to fight tooth-and-nail to keep them from having to return to an office (unless they want to).
Fortunately I have the support of my VPs above me. They know my team is very high performance with tons of institutional knowledge and don’t want to upset the apple cart.
There are those of us out there with some power who are doing what we can to fight the good fight!
