One of the most controversial posts I wrote this year was the one where I doubted that work from home will become normal and people will hardly ever come back to their offices and meet in person. One of the interesting observations was that younger people were much more enthusiastic about working from home and didn’t think that personal encounters and interactions are that important. Older people, on the other hand, valued in person meetings much more. It could be that we are gradually shifting toward more work from home with younger people adopting a different style of work, but as one of my readers said: “If they want to get a promotion or a raise, they better show up in the office.” Good point.
