2023: WFH vs WFO

It's 2023. Completed almost ~3 years working from home. Still believe WFH >>>WFO

What's your take?

Hybrid!

Hybrid is a scam if you have to move to another city. It is just to ease people with the wfo transition packaged as "Employee first culture" lol.

But if you don’t have to move to another city, hybrid does have its benefits. You cannot replace the in-person discussions and learnings with zoom calls.

I think it has its pros and cons . I have been wfh for like 2 years. I like it because i can utilise my commute time during days when i need to complete work. But sometimes you just want to have in person discussion as well

Exactly "Sometimes"

Once in a month or two for a week should also be fine, in my opinion.

Yeah. The only exception is you have to live in the same city as well to do wfh and wfo

Anybody who is working from office in 2023 is a fool

You are free to choose, don’t live a life that you don’t want to

According to me, if you work on a legacy code base then you will need help from your co-workers and it becomes very difficult while working form home.

If you're working on something new, or a project independent from other projects then you can work from home easily

I have been working from home since 2015. I travel for work out side my home city often so it balances out but still prefer work from home. I just get so much done. Downsides 1)when I eventually move, I may not be able to adjust to the going to office routine 2) always available kinda work ops.. bet it 530am or 12 am.. you gotta finish your deadlines. Efficiency has its downside.
