I'll go out on a little limb, it might be sales specific. My company is 100% work from home. All the engineers and product and design work remote, maybe come into the office once a week just because.
The sales team however is strongly encouraged to come in as much as possible. I think it's a morale thing. Sales teams become these weird cults, maybe necessarily. It's really hard to pick up the phone and make a call when you've been rejected 5 times in a row. The teams little ceremonies are designed to help push through that.
Their sales team aregoing about this all wrong. Just buy the consumer lists from major dispenseries, and then call the stoners.
Boom. Easy sale.
You need to set your sights on enterprise sales.
Doing lines in the bathroom is also more fun at the office with your fellow salesmen compared to alone in your home.
Like I said, their little ceremonies.
