The sad part is many of the people being forced into hybrid work just commute for an hour to the office to sit in zoom meetings with all of their colleagues at home. I see this happening all the time to friends now.
This is just horrible for society in general. People are wasting time, gas, creating traffic, etc. For nothing at all. Never mind the ongoing housing disaster in the US which is only being made worse.

I don't know what it is, but there's a sort of personality type which seems common among technical roles. Text communication is curt, feathers get ruffled easily in zoom/email, just really hard to work with. Then you sit down with them for 15-30 minutes and talk, it's like night and day. They see you as a person, things resolve quickly, you both go about your day. Even though I do most of my work remotely, I try to schedule interactions with these people on days when we will both be in the same room. They're not bad people, but it makes things so much easier, so much less drama.
