Smart employers? Let's do a bit of math: - if you are NOT full remote but also NOT full in office you need to pay both an infra for remote workers and offices; - or you give double gears of you made some workers really unhappy moving their gears back&forth (remember you can easily move laptops BUT normally you do not move docking for them with external monitor and keyboard and mice for working in comfort; - since potentially ALL workers can came back you can't save money for a smaller office neither... Are such hybrid employers smart? Oh, on the other side it's the same: - why coming back to the office, so live nearby the office instead in more affordable and nicer places if you WFH more or less frequently and potentially you can WFH 100%? - why having a home with a workspace if you work from the office more or less frequently? Hybrid is HORRIBLE and should be there only for a very limited transitory period of time to let anyone change habits, definitively not something smart.

I never said anything about hybrid. I said that employees who want an office should be offered one.

  That's essentially hybrid, it might not sound for the individual workers who choose home or office, but for the company point-of-view that's hybrid works and for all workers means being able to work in both configs...

Smart employers, I think, will share workspaces. I can't remember the last time I really needed a piece of paper (I carry a remarkable for that) and as long as I can dock easily, with a decent screen and keyboard/mouse combo, I am kind of happy as long as it doesn't take ages to setup.

  So you do not care at all about infosec, like keyloggers and co planted in shared places by who know who? Or for the employer the joy of sharing some loans to find some others do not pay and he have to pay on their behalf than loose time in Court hoping there is something to recover?
