We were fully remote during the height of the pandemic. Right now we’re on a 3 days a week in office plan, except if you live further than 50km or 1h away. Some also have a grandfathered agreement. Then it’s a single day per week, where we discuss things as a team and grab lunch after. I think it’s nice to occasionally meet your colleagues, especially if you all work very closely together. Doesn’t even have to be once a week.
My mother-in-law’s job has a similar policy, except the range is 80 miles… She lives almost exactly 79.9 miles away from her job. The company refuses to budge, (“if we gave an exception to you, we’d have to do it for everyone”), and requires her to come in three days a week. So she commutes an hour and a half, three times a week.
