Returned to office after 2 years of remote work

there's a common mistake people make when doing this. the harder it is to reverse a decision the slower you should make it.

mistaking revenue for cash is the most expensive illusion; trust the bank account.

Thanks for posting.

We need to make a distinction here. Second-time founders don't make the same mistakes but find new ones.

I'm also curious if anyone does it differently.

There's a common mistake people make when doing this. When the closure decision was made is as decisive as the decision itself.

This is my opinion, I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

I didn't know that.

To get into the details: Taking notes for two weeks yields better results than a six-month estimate.

Just leaving this note, it might be useful.

I think differently. The real issue isn't the number, but what it's based on.

Proven by experience.

My questions are cleared up, thanks.

My perspective changed after experiencing that. Processes without records never improve, because you don't know what to fix.

Of course, it varies if your situation is different.

Timely topic.

This is exactly what we experienced. If you don't write this down from the start, it leads to arguments later.

I think it's hard to be that definitive about returning to office. If it's your first time, start small; scaling comes later.

If you have questions, write them; I'll answer as best I can.

I feel the same way. The harder it is to reverse a decision, the slower you should make it.

We experienced almost the exact same thing last year. tbh when making a decision first look at what data you have on hand.

Good luck with that.

If you're going this route, sort this out first. When making decisions, write down the worst-case scenario too, not just the best.

If I were you, I'd go this route.

Let me summarize what's been said so far. Delaying bad news is the habit that causes the most losses in this job.

Mistakes made on the returning to office side are usually reversible but expensive. If you have questions, write them; I'll answer as best I can.

Could you elaborate on that? The answer varies greatly by industry; there is no one-size-fits-all rule.

When you try to change everything at once, nothing settles. Good luck with that.
