      How is that bullshit? People do like to give promotions to other people they like, sometimes irrelevant of talent. Look at literally all non-democratic governments.

      And it’s no secret random conversations not about work happen a lot more in person. These are the kind of conversations that make friendships, not the 1 on 1 with your manager on teams.

      This is why most sane companies don’t force you to do 4 days but instead make it so that if you only have to do 2 days at the office, they’re the same 2 days of the week for everyone to avoid the situation in this post.

      Good for you. In the end however, I think the important thing is choice.

        I mostly agree. Optimally I think being mostly in office while having flexibility as needed is best. Honestly - working vacations should be more normal. Example, during corona I would a couple of times a year spend close to a month in other cities working and then having fun on my time. I am thankful to have a good tech job that I could pull that off. But travel to another place for a period of time and work remote in a place you can explore.
