You can dedicate those days to meetings and conversations and keep the remote days for more heads down work.
And if you can’t make it to the office due to snow or travel, you’re prepared for remote work.
You can get a little clever with GTM coming in on different days than Eng but it's tradeoffs all the way down. (In a value-neutral way)
WHF means better home usage, since you both rest, eat, etc and work in the same building, while the company needs no buildings, meaning a far simplified real estate:
- homes
- factories
- special buildings (hospitals, army, politics etc)
- sheds
Instead of the various forms of multi-storey buildings, high-rise, towers and so on alongside their incapacity to evolve, very high construction and operational costs etc just to pack more humans in a tight space.
Similarly for workers being at home means better time usage, no need for commuting, ability to do something at home while working, like run the washing machine, pre-loaded, when the Sun start to allow p.v. self-consumption and so on.
WFH means far better usage of time, space, tools. Witch is a natural evolutionary move.
One of those days is the Friday so you get the half day automatically while being sociable.
