Ubisoft published a statement to the employees saying they are going 100% remote. People made changes in their life because of that. Maybe some moved to other cities, or moved further out, perhaps have additional kids, etc...
I find for my team the most productive method is couple of days on prem for architectural discussions and then followed by working at home rest of the time on actual tasks.
At the end of the day it's a benefit that was offered to employees. Employers can change offered benefits and employees can whine about it.

Welcome to the real world entitled babies.
Instead of treating 3.5 years of covid WFH as a super long temporary perk where you saved on commute time and spending money on gas, eating out and impressing people with new clothes, it's time to get your ass to the office. Most people still had to slog it to work even during covid wearing masks, using sanitizer stations and all, instead of waking up at 8:55 am to log into your corporate PC by 9 am.
No company would had ever put in writing covid WFH is a permanent thing for life. Even companies giving up the lease forcing workers to be at home, they might change their minds 5 years later and sign up for new office space.
Some people must be super anti-social not wanting to see or chat with coworkers. Let me guess. They all claim to be the most productive workers being lone wolves at home. Saving time on commuting, wasting money, ohhh and ahhhh I'm so much more refreshed and productive.
My company had a 2 year mandatory WFH, but a lot of us were itching to go back. There's only so many awful MS Teams meetings with people who never go on cam and dopey 2 minute icebreaker jokes where everyone on screen is staring in bordeom you can take.
Worker productivity now at lowest in 75 years: Report
Is remote, hybrid work to blame?American worker productivity is declining at the fastest rate in 75 years—and it could see CEOs go to war against WFH
EY-Parthenon's Gregory Daco reveals what's going on with the American worker's worst slump of the post-World War II era. It's not all about remote work, he says.finance.yahoo.com
And the funny thing during the past bunch of years of covid WFH, there's been shit loads of game delays and super unfinished games. Worse than usual.
Back to work overpaid babies. I knew all the pay bumps workers everywhere were demanding wouldnt lead to better work.
Also, with techie people doing game code and art which surely can be large files, doesn't anyone who does any kind of job (not just game industry people) involving big files being downloaded or uploaded want to be in the office?
From performance perspective, it's a giant "it depends". Corporate datacenters can be in a separate place from where people sit so then question is how big is your WAN pipe, local storage, etc...
For me I go to the office 2-3 times a week and it's fine. I'd go more if the CEO asked for it or if other people did too. Not much point going on a Friday when nobody is there except the IT guys doing whatever they do in the server room.
Good point.
Lmfao
I do finance. Getting immediate feedback on tasks (doesnt matter if it's a solo task or a team task) is always easier at the office. My colleagues and I bounce ideas off each other all the time, including calling each other over to show each other stuff. You cant do that easily using online MS Teams or whatever because you need to be able to get everyone together and it's harder to share and dictate to someone changes on screen. I can easily round up a couple into my office and show them something. Doing that online requires them to actually be there or feel like answering. The online guy might be there but if he doesn't want to answer you till tomorrow, there's nothing you can do about it except wait. Or he cant answer you because the guy is grocery shopping at 2 pm, or has adjusted his WFH hours to be when he feels like working. One day it's 9-5, another it's 10-6, another day it's 9-12 and then does the rest after dinner 8-midnight. With WFH people you never know when they are and arent available.
Most companies weren't prepared to deal with work from home and had to restructure everything which cut heavily into productivity. I work in IT enterprise and we had to do things like deploying new MDMs and remote management tools, install new firewalls and servers to handle the heavier and more distant network traffic, pay for higher tier of products for more cloud storage, etc. That's in addition to all the equipment people needed to take him, the subsidized office hardware, adapting to new schedules, etc. This took months for some companies to get right but once they did, the productivity was more or less back to normal.
That's some top tier corporate shilling. Literally accusing the employees wanting to work from home because they want to be lazy and not work. If you commute 30 minutes per day, that's 5 hours in a regular work week. 5 unpaid hours. Imagine bitching that people want these hours back. No need to pay for gas, no need to pay for transportation, much easier work/life balance that leads to happier employees who like their jobs more but that's unreasonable to want that.
The vast majority of people wanting WFH perks have never been promoted in self-interest ways so blatantly (save money and get more hours back to personal life). Those are obvious perks anyone would see regardless.
Oh yeah, you are f-d due to latency most likely. Can do a quick traceroute to see it or network capture.
It's not creative in terms of drawing things or making sure monster art fits the story, but there's still a team concept because it's important things are done right and anything involving any of us rolling up to account or divisional levels into a Canada regional level needs an agreed upon methodology so we can combine our results easily in one analysis. if we do shit our own way it'll be a disaster.
