Non mandatory hybrid isn’t hybrid … it’s just remote. You can come into the office and still just be on calls for all your communication.

- chefandy 3y agoDepends on the position. I worked at IBM in the late aughts and they has a daily office lease model where you could book an office to work in at most IBM facilities or work from home. It was essentially non-mandatory hybrid-- people who did things like support for overseas customers never ever came into the office because requiring them to come into the office was stupid. An SSH session and company-provided phone in the office look exactly like they do at home. People like pre-sales, sales, product managers, engineering managers, etc. that had to do more meeting and planning than individual work came into the office every day because it worked better for them. There was no real reason they couldn't be remote and conduct all of their business over the phone-- the business was completely set up for it-- they just weren't as productive that way. It really wasn't a problem.
