At my job, we do Monday-Wednesday-Friday in the office and work from home the other two days. It seems to me to be the perfect balance between the coordination and social benefits of being in an office and the freedom and productivity gains of remote work. I'm surprised more companies don't try this kind of schedule.


This is excellent.

Combined with some basic rules like no meetings on Fridays it can quickly become a simple and effective company culture.


I'm starting a new role next week and that's exactly the schedule I negotiated.

The mix, I think, is good on a social level. When I used to work 100% remote, I found myself walking to the grocery store just to see other people.
