The hybrid model makes sense, because some people (like me) enjoy being at the office with colleagues.
I don't want a situation where I am forced to always be in the office. But I also don't want to have colleagues I never see. That doesn't mean "mandate exactly X days at work". But it does mean "be at the office sometimes".
- kwyjobojoe 5y agoYour only justification for forcing people to come to your office is to suit your needs. If a role can be done successfully 100%, people like you need to think about others before you start supporting upsetting someone else's lifestyle to make yourself happier.
- lazide 5y agoSounds like you aren’t listening to youself? Folks have to meet in the middle somewhere if we want a society - some people want full office, some people want full remote, some people want a hybrid. They can’t all be happy. Saying ‘I want to meet my coworkers face to face at least some of the time’ seems like the compromise position if anything.
- katbyte 5y agoThat’s what team offsites, conferences and company outings are for. There’s more ways to get face to face time then “go to the office to work”
- lazide 5y agoAnd you’ve got a bunch of people that want one at least every week, so they can talk to their coworkers - but without all the overhead from scheduling a big event. The world is made of many different kinds of people. Hand waving a huge portion of them away on either side isn’t great.
