I think the perfect set-up is hybrid, with 1-2 days office / 3-4 days home. Virtual meetings are significantly worse than in-person. But obviously the commute determines whether this is "on net" worthwhile.

> Virtual meetings are significantly worse than in-person

The problem is that "in-person" meetings are still Zoom calls for those that didn't come in, so it's the worst of both worlds.


My team has at least one person in every continent (except Africa and the Antarctic, but we do have someone on Réunion), so meetings are and will always be video conferences.

That's definitely true - ideally, there would be one day where almost everyone comes in for the all-hands meeting. Whether that is realistic depends..

I have a long commute to get to an office where everyone is wearing noise cancelling headphones for meetings...

Ha! That seems like a waste. As I said, commute time determines whether its worth it.
