Eric Siu's team chose office days even though they work remote-first. He walks to WeWork and reflects on why people still want to come in, touching on team motivation and the gap between remote work policy and what people actually want.
So I'm walking to the office right now. Even though our team's remote first, which is something I wanna talk about in a second, we have a— we got a little— we got a little WeWork here. Interestingly enough, the people that go into the office here are pushing me to go into the office, where it's not even like— I remember one day I said, hey, why don't we just work Friday from home? It's like, no, I'm still coming in tomorrow. I'm like, oh, okay. So that's a sign that you've hired some good people when people are willing to work harder on their own without having to be pushed, right? Get to enjoy this little walk with me. So anyway, that's that.
