I prefer remote work to avoid travel time and expenses, and also eat home-cooked food :)

@novie_dizon lol nice point！It is easy to lose weight when people eat home-cooked food
Remote work means your cat is your coworker - which is usually a wonderful side benefit 😂
jokes aside, we have a remote & distributed team. Our solution was to have team retreats every 6 months (latest) to establish bonds!
our motto: Remote for the deep work, in person for the deep bonds💪
@erdemgelal Good catch! It may be that truly deep work is only possible when working remotely. But personal meetings are necessary to maintain connections between people.
i prefer hybrid ! Hybrid work lets you juggle work and life better, giving flexibility and cost savings, and the chance to create a personalized work setup.
A mix of both in the right balance.
Remote is good for productivity but onsite gives us a better and much stronger chance to build trust with the team. It always comes handy when things are not going the right path and trust is the only thing that takes us past that situation.
@sylvia_sheng Absolutely. Most progressive tech companies do offer this and hence they make the most out of it.
@imraju 100% Agree.
The flexibility of having both options is the right balance. As you said, remote working is incredible for productivity and reduce interruption.
On site work makes trust building so much easier. However, with my current team, we managed to implement the same level of trust with the following values:
- Add value every single day thanks to transparency, it's okay to have challenges but it needs to be exposed publicly as soon as possible to be able to receive help
- Asynchronous communication
- Every decision should be documented
These resources are what helped us build this system:

- https://about.gitlab.com/company... (very long training: > 10 hours)
I prefer office as it brings discipline and differention between life & work. Remote can be an option if I don't have time to spend to go to the office and need to work right away.
I completely agree with you @novie_dizon! 💯 Remote work provides that flexibility of working from anywhere, which definitely saves us from everyday commute pangs, not to mention home-cooked meals are of course an added bonus! 😉 Let's hear what others have to say. Folks, don't forget to upvote if you're in favor of remote work! 🚀
@ashley_z lol good point, I am solution oriented person, so if I am the boss, if the employee can show me the good result, no matter he/she is onsite or not lol
@sylvia_sheng Yep. As much as I love working remotely, at times I simply need to go out :D
It depends :) If a have something to really focus by myself, sometimes remote is better, but it is not easy to keep my motivation high,it is also good to see people working with me and socialize a little.
@emre_bolcal True story, people still need to be connected to society. So hybrid may be a good way lol
For application developers (mobile and web) better remote work,
but backend and the other positions that need to be present in the office for qccess to the company resource, better onsite work.
I have been working fully remote for a year. But, hybrid regime seems reasonable to me. Humans are social creatures and need socializing thereby. You can't isolate yourself totally.
@jean_gatt Sure story! It's harder to concentrate when working remotely, especially when working remotely from home, and the bed would have a great attraction for me lol
I'd definitely go with remote work. It just offers so much flexibility – I can manage my schedule in a way that suits my lifestyle. Plus, I've noticed I'm way more productive at home without the usual office distractions.
And from a business perspective, remote work means you can hire from a wider talent pool, which is pretty cool.
@jovana_djekovic Yes, considering the cost factor, a larger pool with more candidates means being able to hire better people for less money.
Why not hybrid hmmm
I actually think the majority of people gonna choose remote due to the era of 4.0 digitalization, however, the risk here is that you have to stay focused and balance between work and life smoothly.
Remote work for flexibility and global talent; on-site for strong team cohesion and quick collaboration. Blend based on project needs.
I think for me I prefer hybrid remote. You get to speak to people in-person which is a social necessity a few times a week and the rest remote during the week.
@imran_razak Sure thing! I hate wasting time on the commute. And I also think home cook food is more heathy. However, Humans still have to have some social activities lol
In my opinion, I believe a hybrid work culture is best. Why? Because it ensures both productivity and fosters positive communication within the team members, ensures work life balance, and several other factors are related to this. Moreover, once in a while if you sit with your team members and hierarchy, it helps to kill the urge of monotonous working environment.
@ritesh_2399 I think so. I am that kind of guy who is hate commuting but still need social activities. The hybrid option works for me.
