In the minutes leading up to the new year here in Stockholm, I'd like to give a lot of credit to @ArrowheadGS for doing something that few companies do, which is a complete about-face on company policies pertaining to remote work.

When I first joined the company in 2017, I remember asking about what the studio's take on remote work was. And it was assumed that we'd work best in a face-to-face environment. Nothing really wrong with that - experience showed that that was the case, at that time.

Fast-forward to March of this year: Arrowhead decided to have a dry run of the work-from-home scenario in light of the potential for further WFH days given the rapidly-mounting pandemic. So, one Monday in March, that's what we did.

It turns out that that was the exact Monday that Sweden's public health office announced that any companies that can work from home, should. So we did. And to this day, we've kept with that. Whoever can work from home does. Whoever can safely go to the office, well, alright.

During the Google Hangout meet that was our holiday get-together this year, it was announced that this marks a new way of viewing remote work here. In principle, a person should be able to go skiing up in Nörrland, then hit the laptop for some work. Remote work is important.

Collectively, we've thoroughly shown that we can work remotely to a degree that is only slightly different from how we work in-person. And that's something that's priceless for the company leadership to have acknowledged.

So yeah. There have been various tweets going out about, "What was normal prior to 2020 that you don't want to see come back?" I, for one, don't want to see such an emphasis on seat-warming. If a person, or people, can function as a productive team remotely, then let them do it.
