Totally agree with Eric. To expand on that: a lot of times when companies are “trying” remote working they’ll allow a couple of people to work from home on Fridays or so, important impromptu decisions are made on these days and people who’re remote will be left out, which further perpetuates the myth of remoteness making harder to communicate and to keep everyone informed. <br><br>I strongly believe that if a company wants to try remote working they should let _everyone_ work remotely for a few days. Otherwise they are not trying remote working, they are just letting a couple of people skip the office sometimes.<br><br>Tadas<br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, 21 Mar 2019 at 19:55, Eric Theise <<a href="mailto:erictheise@gmail.com">erictheise@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">One comment on your "Cons" list.
