Being spread out in a big company is something I’d kind of forgotten about. My last job had several offices in different cities, and my direct manager worked in LA while I was in one of the other offices so it was always just phone calls or Teams meetings. They hated WFH, but even then I questioned why it mattered because to them I’m either 1,000 miles away at the office or 1,010 miles away at my house. It made no difference.
And beyond that working with other departments meant I was calling down a few floors for assistance on things. Even my direct workmates were spread around the office, and we’d often call or text each other instead of getting up and walking across the floor.
