Why do so many assume that there are only 3 options:
- 100% remote.
- 100% office.
- Some rigid hybrid scheme of n days per week in the office every week where n = 3 +/-1.
Why not "mainly remote but be in the office when it makes sense to be in the office"? This is how my team has been operating since last July - remote first but every 1-2 months we'll do a week onsite somewhere. Now we're getting pressure to start being in the office a few days per week every week starting later this month (and since we're dispersed that means going to the office to be on video calls all day).
