I’m gonna be real surprised if we ever see large team travel week in and week out again. Only exception for ops or supply chain type stuff. No client wants to look out and see a bunch of 22-25 yr olds noobs in a bull pen when they can do the same damn thing from home or a local office

It depends on if the client you’re on is remote or in person.

My boss (exec director) and I need to come up with a schedule strategy. We work in a hybrid setting, 1-2 days in office, the rest remote. As you all know, the days fill up quickly with travel, meetings and requests internal, external, new partners etc. Fridays are usually off limits to schedule anything unless it’s super important or really no way to work around it. have you seen something, created or implemented a strategy/guideline that would free up more time? I know saying no more would help
