I really hope remote is the future and companies will not go back to on-site, nor impose hybrid.
For sure I am not and will not consider any job offer from companies not allowing 100% remote.
Remote working works. Software and tools are already there:
Slack huddles and zoom/google meet, collaboration tools like MIRO, cloud tools like draw.io and Google docs, postman workspaces , Trello, and many more. Everything is available.
I find meetings and pair programming are way more productive since we are all remoting.
Misscommunication depends on the people. It happens both on site and remote.
Burnout or productivity loss also depend on people. It's up to you how you balance your work-life, manage your time and deal with stress.
Diligent hard-working dedicated People were burning out in the office too.
Lazy unmotivated employees were slacking off in the office too.
Sure I might "miss" the transition/boundary that the commuting was allowing me, but I gain my time for myself and my family, and I can set that boundary by being able to do more on my free time.
Some problem might come not from remote, rather from asyc communication due to different timezones but that also can be solved.
And lastly, Remote is not the same as "working from home during a lockdown" and is not working " in separate places of the world hours apart". When it come to social life and stress people often confuse the concepts...
On the other hand, I'd like to still see Tech Conferences and Company Gathering live and onsite - those are good for networking and getting to know people deeper and imho they can't be replaced by online games, metaverse and such.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
