Due to the pandemic, many people (including myself) have been working remotely for the past few years. As a result, the possibility of remote work has become a sort of essential requirement when choosing a job. However, there is also a counter-trend: companies are starting to introduce mandatory days in the office. For example, just recently, Amazon announced a "return to the office for 3 days a week" (links in English and Russian). The main argument is that this arrangement will provide employees with more opportunities to discuss ideas and innovations. In my opinion, this can be achieved by properly structuring processes, rather than by requiring employees to be physically present in the office, which can lead to burnout. Personally, I would like to have the option to work remotely when I want to, even though I am currently in the office every day (I live nearby, and it's more convenient for me). What do you prefer? Remote work or the office?

P.S. The photo shows the building where I work and the view from my office window.
