My company is staying fully remote with 'hub-offices' for those who want to get together. I plan to stay working from home even though the office is an 8 minute commute. I like my co-workers but I just want to work on my craft and build things. Commuting and hanging out at the coffee machine wastes time that I could be doing things.
My company is also experimenting with a 36 hour work week based on the Icelandic Study. As per the study, in order to maintain productivity, organizations need to clean up their processes. Specifically targeted meetings, more documentation and less interruptions. I am sure my coworkers will also be more productive just to keep the shorter work week - I know I will.
8 hours in an office != productivity. Quiet time and the ability to do deep work = productivity. I wish more managers and execs understood this.
For my own productivity, the company that I am looking at for inspiration is Hashicorp. https://works.hashicorp.com/ looks to be one of the best documents on how to do remote work. If anything, it is all well thought out.
