Pearl Jimenez · Answer

I work remotely, but I can go to the office with my colleagues. I like to go to the office if, for example, there are questions that take much longer to explain online and it is much more convenient to do it in the office. Therefore, I am definitely in favor of the office, but with the possibility of staying at home for a day or two and working from bed.

Answer

You can save your commute time for other things, but you will have less communication with the company and the working atmosphere will be weakened

@elenat I agree with you 100 percent. Last week I had an on-site appointment for the first time in a long time. I spent three hours in the car during which I couldn't work. Wasted time.

Julia Engelsmann · Answer

I think independence is great. Not being tied down in terms of time and, above all, location. For example, I'm often really productive in the evenings and have the freedom to work then
