I don't mind occasionally being in the office with my entire team. The problem is that my team is split across three offices in different cities.

We have folk who prefer to work from the office, and that's fine. But it makes team meetings more challenging than they are when everyone's at home.

When we were only spread across two offices, we'd occasionally have a team day in one or other of the offices. But the third office is much further away.

Oh certainly: in the case of distributed teams I much prefer WFH.

Aren't distributed teams basically the norm nowadays? It has been a long time since I worked with my whole team in a single office.

Between outsourcing, satellite offices and remote employees, almost no team I see nowadays has everyone in the same office.
