We had hybrid and hot desking before COVID and it was a bit of a pain to deal with.
- the hot desks never had the correct dock stations for people's laptops, or "good" chairs had been stolen and left with the sketchy one with the broken wheel.
- The people you actually need to talk with will naturally come into the office on a completely different schedule, so they'll only have one overlap day with you.
- Everybody else will need to talk with them too, so it'll be impossible to get face time when you're in the office and everybody will be pissed off at each other because of all the meetings.
- All business will get done on zoom those other two days.
- thebigman433 5y agoYea Im personally not a fan of hybrid work if you have a team oriented job, but I think a lot of people will insist on it for at least a while. I think some places might make it work, but overall people will trend back towards wanting to go into the office. The consensus opinion on HN of people wanting to stay remote is not generally the most popular from what Ive found talking to "normal" people.
- anothernewdude 5y agoSchedule? Why are you coming to work on a schedule that isn't "when I have meetings with people I need to see"? It's this arbitrary crap that makes good work practices go bad.
