Most people aren't taking extreme positions BUT

- Many people chafing to get back to an office are concerned that it's going to be a diminished experience with many of their teams missing

- As a sibling comment notes, remote workers will advocate for remote-first practices. For example, if anyone on a call is remote, everyone has to call in individually. No gathering in conference rooms. I knew teams that did this pre-pandemic. There are also practices that are frankly good in any case like everything needs to be written down, no hallway decisions, etc.

Do in-office people call in from their desks? Seems like a noisy office then, especially with an open office. Or does each in-office person have to reserve an individual conference room?
