I’ve been full time remote since 2015, after ten years in an office. I don’t miss a single thing about it. Not the oppressive fluorescent lights, not the smells from the microwave, not the bullshit small talk, not that one coworker who wanders from cube to cube talking all damn day, and especially not the commute. Not a damn thing. I would never go back.

I've been working remotely for a foreign company for 9 years already. Best decision ever. (Disc: married, with children)

Still fully remote, working a job some 2000 km away from me. The whole company is remote first now, and it's been pretty good.

I do find the volume of zoom meetings to be unacceptable, though. At first, people really seemed to get that you could have the equivalent of a "quick chat" over Slack or whatever, but they eventually moved on to impromptu zoom calls, or shadow dropping meetings into my calendar to talk about something in camera that can be discussed in chat.

It drives me bonkers.

After 3 years fully remote and isolated, tough, I do kind of wish I could go into the office like ones or twice a month, just so people could see me as a real person, and to have group meetings.

I'm technically hybrid, but I haven't been to the office in over a month. I only go in if there're important meetings.

I'm in an interesting position on this... I do research as a grad student, my work can be done anywhere with internet but... I have been working in-person for the last year or two, and have been almost doing 80-100% in-person the last few months.

Partly because I feel more productive when being in an office. Partly because I use public transit & don't have to worry about traffic/parking. Partly because I get to communicate with my boss in-person about project ideas & stuff. Partly at the strong urge of my psychologist to have some human interactions & don't depress myself at home the whole day

There are a good number of research labs I know who are still doing 100% remote and it worked out fairly well for them too, so to each their own?

I go in twice a week, because I find being able to talk to people face to face both quite productive and I'm an extravert who likes company. Plus, I'm in London and I actually enjoy the 45 minute cycle.

I am full time remote, and I will never go back as long as I have my say. It's so much better this way, for so many reasons. The freedom I have is not something I would want to give up now.

I'm still remote. The company forced everyone to go back 3 days a week, but it was too big of a pain for me with child care being an issue (3 year old and 5 year old). So I applied for permanent WFH and they are sitting on my application. The CTO told me that the heads of the company are not giving permanent WFH for anyone without a medical reason. He did say that he would extend my return to office date until next year, though, so at least by then my 3 year-old will be in preschool.

All in all I'm considering leaving for a permanent WFH position. The work-life balance is just way better when you have small kids.

I'm still working remote, although the company has been going down the 2,3, now 4 days back in the office route. Luckily, my office was closed so they can't push us in yet, but it'll be a matter of time as the CEO is a believer in the collaboration etc etc that doesn't reflect how people are actually working.

It's a bit comical when some of the exec discuss it. There isn't enough office space for all the people, so the ones forced back are hot-desking and having a terrible time of it. The plan is to reduce the amount of offices, so the issue will get worse. A lot of people are on calls for a lot of the day so this just makes the whole thing a mess where you unpack all your stuff, jump onto calls, pack all your stuff again, then leave. Rinse / repeat. The execs acknowledge it but still pull all the synergy / collab / culture stuff.

I'm moving to a new fully remote position before the RTO is enforced. It's hard to beat not wasting hours a day and thousands a year on commuting by train. I get to actually attend my kid's school events, take them training, spend time with them.

I'm fully remote with the exception of a monthly departmental meeting. Remote working worked really well for the majority of teams, so we just never went back into the office. I'm in the Finance department and most days don't need to interact with colleagues to get my work done. I don't think I could go back to being in the office full time now. I enjoy the peace and space I have at home. Sensory issues are much easier to manage. Also, my dog is here and sometimes she just needs scritches and a snack, so obviously I need to be here to ensure her needs are met!

I’m doing all right. The company I work for was bought out by another company and they have begun slashing hours and tightening the reins across the board. I’m looking for a new job but I definitely wish to remain a remote worker and won’t be quitting until I have a new position lined up. It’s not easy finding a new job in this U.S. economy however.

Made by the company. 3 days in the office. Not my preference because traffic is nuts, but on work from home days the cats get in front of my keyboard.

Technically hybrid but have been full remote for the most of the year thanks to a neck injury. Commuting on the train wrecks me from my neck jostling around.

I've been remote over four different roles with my current organisation and have had zero reason to ever set foot in the office.

been fully remote since 2008. It was fun to watch everyone else learn how to do that :)

My team is hybrid, but I try and be in office most days! I’m lucky that my manager doesn’t mind if we do work from home when things come up.

As long as the work gets done, that’s what matters! Which is how I honestly think it should be.

Mid-pandemic I changed gigs to a 100% remote gig out of state, so they really can't force me to come back to the office when it's a 20 hour commute to a place I've never been!

On a more serious note, my gig may expect >40 hours/week (which I rarely give more than 2-3 at most), but they're at least 100% on the idea of remote collaboration. They downsized the office for this reason and give people the option of coming in, but only people that actually have to physically be in the office to do work are required to go in.

Required to go in 3 days a week. The 2 days at home are unsurprisingly my only productive days.

I'm still full remote.
On a very rare occasion, I might have to go into the office, but otherwise I'm working from home.

During covid I learned I really enjoyed working from home, so I talked about it with my employer.
At first I only got day or 2 at home per week, but eventually I was allowed to work fully from home.
