Excellent topic Joe, and nicely presented. As you stated, there are pluses and minuses to working from home, and that is why I like to get out of the "office" at various times.
Hi Joe, another great topic so near and dear to my heart! I think for some industries or even some departments, collaboration is the oxygen that is essential to their business, yet for some it’s the very opposite. I have the privilege of both and I see the benefit and downfall of both. I’m remote Mon - Thurs and in the office on Fridays. I love the quiet aspect of being remote, I really get things done and I am never subjected to anyone’s distractions, this is where the bulk of my workweek gets accomplished. Fridays are great for a team huddle, catching up with colleagues, grabbing some face to face with a senior leader and seeing how your efforts compare to those of your colleagues. As far as actual work, I often leave my office later than expected, wondering where my day went. I rely on my remote time to put in the real work of the week.
I do think it depends on the industry, Ella. I totally get what you're saying. I'm far more productive working from home than those occasional visits to my client's office where I check out a conference room for a while. Sounds like you have a pretty sweet setup!

Me, too, David!
