Yep, if I’m fully in office I accept that that is my reality. With hybrid I dread the days I have to go in.

  Plus you have to pay for things as if you were going in every day. For example a dedicated vehicle and more expensive property closer to work. You save a small amount in fuel and vehicle wear & tear, but you cannot make the big lifestyle changes you'd be able to make due to full time WFH.

When I checked with my friends and coworkers, hybrid was the most preferred option. YMMV?

  I don't like hybrid because I prefer to go in every day but a lot of my coworkers don't come into the office very often. I'd rather teams were fully WFO or fully WFH instead of hybrid. That's not really an option at my work though.

    Hybrid absolutely requires the days in office to be the same for everyone. Anything else is just stupidity on the management's part.

      Nobody is enforcing anyone coming into the office at all.

  It probably depends a lot on where you live relative to the office. If you are within a short commute (e.g. < 30 minutes), hybrid is pretty nice. If you're a longer distance away (30-90 minutes), hybrid is doable but means a quality of life hit. If you relocated farther from the office, then hybrid is infeasible and you have to choose whether to move or to find a new job.

  Employees often like Hybrid it because it's obviously nice to be able to not show up and still do your work when you have stuff to do at home. But its really bad for a business to have everyone working in different ways. With people not reliably in the office it talks away most of the advantages an office can give you. I.E. Meetings with half the people calling into a conference are just bad. People talk about things in hallways and the remote folks are left out and not slacked/emailed about it.

The absolutely worst is hybrid with no fixed schedule, which is my current situation. We have quotas, and they don't take into account sick leaves or holidays. I have to pray I won't have to go to the office on my gym days.
