>This isn't a factory where you have to solder a set number of devices to meet your target numbers. This isn't an animation studio where you have to animate a certain number of director-approved frames ("footage") a week in order to meet your performance expectations.
I don't get why in person types camt just use a co-working facility. Obviously not an option during the pandemic and that was rough gor them but so was going to the office for years for everyone else.
>works well when you already have a bunch of personal relationships between teammates that were established while the company was in-person. And it works well for experienced people that have ramped up.
I think a key question here is how long and how often do you need to see someone to establish and maintain those relationships.
There were exporters/importers and othe long distance businesses relationships for a long time, so I don't think its every day for years.
Really the only one who should be deciding if an interruption from one person to another is worthwhile should be the manager. They know whose time is more valuable to the company at that time. Plus managertime is easily interuptible.
I think a good compromise might be come in once a month but for a few days. It's infrequent enough that you can move to a lcol area and the company can replace the office with hotel or co-working.
But it's frequent enough you can still hold most of your stuff for inperson if you didn't want to have the overhead of remote working.
Wait you don't have KPIs?
