My team had two remote people before the pandemic and my company has global offices so including remote workers is already something we understand.

I fully expect to have to go in to the office one or two days a week but the logistics are easier with remote meetings. There's no need to find an empty room, I don't have to take time to walk to your floor, etc.

These are personal problems. I have been exercising more while WFH because I have more time. You can't expect your coworkers to change their lives because you get a personal time-management or networking benefit.

But somehow you can expect your coworkers to change their actions because you want to be full remote in a company that does not enforce full remote?
