    Yours is a sane and reasonable approach. Sometimes you need to drive down to the datacenter and push a button, or there’s special equipment you need that is cheaper to have in one place. These jobs should be in person when necessary.

    Pushing people to commute outside of this framework puts unnecessary strain on transportation networks and useless emissions in the environment.

      At my previous role, I ALWAYS wanted to be onsite at the datacenter if I was doing upgrades of critical systems. I’d sit in the lobby where it was quiet instead of on the datacenter floor but there was comfort knowing that if a button needed pushed I didn’t have to drive 30 minutes to do it.
