Personally I like hybrid remote with the option of going in whenever.

I personally prefer the remote option. I hope in-person doesn't come back in style for awhile. I enjoy being able to do work from home, this is my little piece of heaven =)
Saif Ali
@lysten_inc Little piece of heaven is a great way of describing it! I call it my little kingdom but your sounds a lot cooler haha

Com'on that's an unfair question, anyone who loves the beach will indulge sometime into a trip on the mountains :P I think remote makes everyone's life better, this being said, it's great to meet in person once a while. What do you think @saifali97 ?
Ludmilla Redd
@saifali97 @raul_silverstone Ahah that's one funny way of putting it :D
David Tedaldi
@saifali97 @raul_silverstone So... beach == remote, office == mountain?
Saif Ali
@raul_silverstone Loool thats a great analogy :p I prefer hybrid remote so I don't necessarily have to go but I can whenever I want. Must be a psychological thing lmao.. Makes me feel autonomous and productive.

Hybrid! I prefer to be in the office but I do like having the option of working from home.
Saif Ali
@inesfenner Yeah I love working from home but having the option of going in physically with all the available amenities makes it super nice!

For me, hybrid works well. There are times when you get bored at home, and you need a change to deal with that.
Saif Ali
@gurpinder_singh True! Sometimes I need to hear my coworker's lame jokes to get the mood right lol. But other times I'll wake up and be like "meh, not today".
Sakshi Gahlawat
Hybrid.
Divya
Hybrid mode works well for me
Saif Ali
@divya14 Same! Have you worked in person before?
Siena Romes
I prefer remote. I can do everything quickly without the distractions of an office setting.
Saif Ali
@siena_romes Hmm interesting, what would you say distracted you the most in an office setting?
Siena Romes
@saifali97 co-workers were always talking even if it was working hours. there were a lot of gossiping instead of actual working.
Kate Unzhakova
remote only! ๐Ÿ˜€
Saif Ali
@katerina_unzhakova1 Niiice. Have you worked hybrid or in person?
Kate Unzhakova
@saifali97 yes, both. I've worked in a classical office, and as a freelancer and as a part-time employer, and maybe something else))

mainly in-person; sometimes hybrid when I need to really focus.
Saif Ali
@w_j Really? Interesting.. So you feel more productive at home?
Wiktoria Jaszcza
@saifali97 Sometimes yes. It depends on the type of work and my mood ๐Ÿ˜…. For deep focus (which I struggle to achieve), I prefer to work in silence.
Leonie Bossemeyer
I prefer remote, but being able to go to the office once in a while is still great
Madara
I agree with you. I prefer working from home, but it is nice to see colleagues once i a while. To get the real connection. Specially for 1:1 conversations.
Saif Ali
@madaras Yup that genuine human connection is still a thing imo. I even love making spontaneous lunch plans with my coworkers when we notice we're all there!
Amelia Charlie
Hybrid ๐Ÿ˜
Saif Ali
@amelia_charlie Same! Love working from home but some days I just HAVE to see my coworker's faces lol. Plus free coffee is a no brainer
Ebba Cronqvist
I prefer remote, the flexibility to work from anywhere has been such a life upgrade for me!
Saif Ali
@ebbacronqvist Ah so you're a digital nomad?! Love it. Sometimes I'll take zoom calls while walking my dog and it simply doesn't get better :D
Ebba Cronqvist
@saifali97 Nah wouldn't call myself that, mostly working from same place. Based in Stockholm but have done some longer "workcations" to work elsewhere which I highly recommend :)
picash.eth@mail3.me
I prefer remote and I can enjoy more flexibility.
mark acor
I prefer in-person. I have 3 little kids who are my world and if I'm home with them I'm way too easily distracted to go play with them vs getting work done. Having physical distance between me and them makes me a lot more efficient :)
Saif Ali
@mark_acor That's an interesting take! I don't have kids but I can imagine it must be suuuper hard to say no to playtime while working from home? I can't even say no to my pups when he wants playtime lol let alone kids haha
Bhavna Singh
I prefer in-person as you get a chance to work around the people and create that rapport between your peers which somewhere helps in overall personality building , however the new trend nowadays have been remote and hybrid only.
Saif Ali
@bhav_singh Bhav that's honestly fair. When it comes to personality building or just overall career networking, I think in person is still a great option
Qudsia Ali
It's safe to say that remote working is the new standard. However, I prefer a hybrid approach since it allows us to maintain strong social relationships among coworkers through continual physical interaction.
Saif Ali
@qudsia_ali Yup! I prefer hybrid remote too since I can go and have real human moments with my coworkers like listening to their lame jokes and laughing regardless lmao. Although the remote part is suuuper nice too
Brenna Donoghue
I'm all in on hybrid. I get so much energy when in person with the team. But not having to commute or shower right after a lunch run makes life so great on the other days.
Saif Ali
@brenna_donoghue YES! I have a 1 hr commute time and some mornings it can become hectic. Though I listen to podcasts on the way to make it bearable lol. Wbu? Any commute activities?
Brenna Donoghue
@saifali97 my commute is an hour as well. In the past I was close enough to run or bike to work which was a great way to start the day. But now that I take the train I try to ease into the day reading. My kindle is getting some serious time!
Brenna Donoghue
@saifali97 Any podcasts you recommend?
