It’s awesome that that was agreed to up-front! As COVID eased, a friend who works for a local software shop was worried about the fights they’d have over remote vs. in-office, as they’d had a super-strong in-office culture before. The company threaded the needle on it, though: because all the teams work in pods, the decision was that each pod (6-10 people) would decide by consensus whether to be remote, hybrid, or in-office. They then ran an exchange program to help re-home people on teams that wanted something different. It wasn’t perfect, but the willingness to let each team determine for itself what was best and trust them to make the right decision fairly really worked.
