Not at all tired of being fully remote. I actually took a remote job pre-pandemic (by a ~month) after being in a strict, 9-6 (hour lunch break) day because the company had a legacy in the consulting business and treated their product teams the same.
The freedom and flexibility to structure my day as I see fit without anyone raising an eyebrow is something I'll continue to look for. There's no more performative productivity and I can focus on doing my best work and maximizing my impact for the organization while working a schedule that works for my lifestyle. It's the best of both worlds for me and my organization.
The things I do miss, though, are the in-person connections. These don't have to happen every day or even every week. Quarterly offsites are enough to get benefit. It's also likely cheaper for an org to get everyone together for a week-long than have standing real estate obligations (lease or otherwise).
Additionally, optimizing for regional concentrations and allowing folks to get together more frequently would help bridge this gap.
Biggest thing is that hybrid-remote is inflexible and doesn't allow the team to self-organize. The future is to decentralize in-person versus remote work to the lowest level team and let them figure out what works best.
