The way I see it is one or two days in the office per week rest at home, depending on how far you live. I mean why shouldn't a US company be able to hire from South America where there is no time-difference? But back to the hybrid model: Coming to office for a day to present what you have done and plan for the next week is great. Then working from home is like a "sprint", (remember Agile?). Point is when you are physically present only one day you must spend it well to do much of your communications, and then you are ready to sprint the actual work that needs to be done. I do believe there is a benefit to physical meetings, if possible. You feel more like you are part of the team. It is much easier to be rude to people when you are far away. And email, it is the worst because it leaves a permanent record of insults made.
