Yeah, I mean it totally would improve my collaboration if I, a software architect, went into a small sales office near me even though no one in my department, not even the same division of my company will be there, so I'll still be using the same communication tools.
Plus the pay cut I'll be taking by having to pay for another car, gas, and downtown parking. None of which the company will cover. And the building is only open from 7:30 to 5 Pacific Time, but all my meetings are Eastern Time, so I'll be missing morning meetings while I commute and wait for the building to open, and I sure as heck won't be bringing my laptop home, so they get that many hours out of me and no weekends.
Yep everyone benefits.
There's a particular joy to going all the way into the office so you can sit in remote meetings all day. Really makes you feel like your time is valued.
"I work in back, I see no smiles" days of career was super good for my mental health too /s
Come into office ok then no more international calls at 6am or 9PM. (Insert Sorry from south park)
