This is actually a major red flag if I'm an employee. There's no half way with remote work. Either everyone, including execs, works remote, or no one does. I've been in hybrid situations and it's complete hell. My suggestion is pick what works best for you, and then find a company that's committed all the way to either one.
For me, there's no amount of money that doesn't start with billion that could convince me to work in an office. I understand some other people are different, and they should find companies that support forced-commute co-located working.

- RC_ITR 5y agoI just really fail to comprehend why “5” is a perfectly feasible number of days in the office on a set schedule and “3” is a pipe dream. No one thought it was weird to close offices sat/sun, why would that change (now that we all have remote set ups by force)?
- darkwizard42 5y agoThis is why the Google hybrid week seems to strike a good balance. It sets 3 days a week to be in the office and that gets set by your Project Area (Maps, Youtube, etc.). This way, EVERYONE is in the office on say Tu-Th and so work doesn't grind to a halt/get disrupted the same way.
