Many of us like formal 9 to 5 offices, where many prefer it flexible. They prefer work from home. Actually, according to statistics remote workers are usually more actively involved and productive than office workers. Even I have a remote work team that works along with my JMustafa formal office team. Their combination is better than ever. Also, due to the Covid-19 situation, remote working is on the rise for some time now. So, you should focus on this.
