Oh yeah, don’t get me wrong, I agree with you. It’s not worth forcing people to work in the office for the occasional time I want to ask a coworker a question. I wouldn’t trade the extra time I get with my family for anything, not to mention money saved on gas and food.
My point was that there are still hurdles to overcome, and those will be different depending on the industry and office. I work for a firm somewhere between small and mid-size, and we really did have a good culture where it was easy to collaborate and ask questions without it being too much. But we’ve struggled to connect with new hires in the same way remotely.
There’s a better solution than forcing people back in the office, but there are still growing pains. And it seems like many companies just don’t want to take the time to find solutions, and just revert back to how it was before.
