I LOVE remote working. It allows me to manage scheduling issues at home (like deliveries and sick children), and stops me from the endless distractions of office chatter.

...and the upsides cloud my judgement as to whether it's a net positive from the company's perspective.

While all the good I've seen for myself, it's also been a nightmare for managing the small group of people I have. I had to terminate TWO people because we discovered they were also working a 2nd job, and multiple people have had trouble focusing on work while at home.

Some people did great - others didn't. ...and there's no question that the company culture overall has suffered. I'm not saying I'm definitely for or against it - but I wish people would stop taking absolutist positions on this debate.
