MODERATORS
We were "encouraged" by our CEO to go back to office and "collaborate". So my rule is now 2 days per week in the office (sometimes 1, sometimes 3, I'm flexible), but when I'm there, no calls/meetinga as much as possible. I'm socialising, shooting the shit, drinking coffee, playing ping pong with my peers. Realistically this works about half thr time, the other half we are organically ending up doing some work, discussing that thing we always wanted to but it never fits in a formal meeting slot, coming up with ideas how to solve a problem we didn't even realise we had until it came up during coffe or smth... At the beginning my boss complained a bit and I just told him I'm collaborating. He let it go!
So, BTO has a (limited) point, there is value to be there in person sometimes...
I'm a strong advocate for this.
There's no point of "everybody together in the office" if we're too busy in Teams meetings or have to focus on individual tasks. The real benefit is when we have days with open calendars and we can discuss stuff and come up with ideas.
And that is without a doubt the biggest reason to show up, the socializing. It definitely sounds like you have a killer deal there with more days at home but added flexibility
