One for the LFW hivemind.
Have just started a new job which is much more flexible than my old one, with the option to work either from home or in two other offices. My team is mainly in one office (which of course is further from home than the other one) and the team office day is Tuesday, but other than that people work from locations as they please the rest of the week.
For an old fogey like me who misses the days of everyone being in the office five days a week, I'm finding it a bit of a struggle to develop a rapport with new colleagues. So if anyone has any suggestions for how to best do that in this wonderful new normal of ours, do let me know. Cheers! [Post edited 5 Jan 2023 16:12]

Someone in one of the other departments next to us had a similar experience to this. The dinosaur boss, based in New York, wanted everyone back in the office 5 days a week (not sure if he did the same though) once lockdown was over.
What it seemed to smack of is more a case of insecurity and a lack of trust on his part. For nigh on two years all the work got done and if anything, productivity was up. The team were rewarded with their boss effectively telling everyone he doesn't trust them. What a cnt. |
Snap!
Productivity and profits were up here and people were much happier.
There is no trust at all and during the lockdowns the chief dinosaur's sidekick missed his daily routine of walking round the offices peering through doors to check who was at their desk. The sidekick also thinks that all managers must be in the office 5 days a week to set a good example to the staff. |  |
