Why companies who don’t embrace remote working are wrong

I would be happy if more companies were open to giving 1 or 2 remote days per week. Breaking up the daily monotony of a commute for even just a single day makes me feel a lot better and less stressed. Makes it easier to do things like pick up your kid after school.

This is an accepted, if not encouraged, practice at my employer and it is much appreciated. Entire teams tend to schedule their "WFH" days together as a general time to focus, no meetings, etc. And, the teams that don't schedule together almost always have most members taking 1-2 WFH days a week.

For context: Employer is a late stage startup with ~500 employees that generally embraces remote work with many full-time remote employees.
