Is this a situation that you find yourself in frequently (with serious work sparked by chance conversations)? It sounds awfully cliché.

No, but that's what the higher ups want to believe. :)

Guess it depends on what you think is frequently, maybe once or twice a year when working in a office setting. Always happened at small companies, and usually what was sparked in the conversation had a big impact on what the company worked on.

So for the off chance that once in 6 months you have a conversation in person that "sparks something" everyone has to suffer commutes and all the other crap that comes with WFO?

Yeah I'll pass on that, thanks

No, I think people should be able to make a choice between working in a office vs working remote, which considering how many jobs are remote nowadays, you can kind of already do.

I'm not saying all companies should work in a office, I'm just sharing my viewpoint from someone who prefers in office compared to remotely.
