Idk why but I can't help but think remote-first feels so dystopian. I joined and left a job that was 100% remote, and tbh I barely remember working there. I can barely remember names or anything I did. It was like Severance. Now I'm hybrid, and feel way more "connected" (whatever that means).

I've been remote for a decade now and -still- feel that way.

Ultimately, I think I've decided I probably prefer a hybrid approach. Like T/Th in office. But that only works if everyone is on board - that is, what's the point of me going in on Tuesday if I'm the only one there?

That said, I live in the middle of nowhere in a non-tech city, so that's just a pipe dream anyways for now...

I find myself feeling that way in the office as well, so I prefer remote.
