It’s unfortunate that it has gotten so black and white. I’m a big fan of WFH. But I also think it’s beneficial to see people in the office and interact on a regular basis. Why can’t we have both?

having both is equivalent to having WFH (but without the cost savings to the business regarding office rentals).

People who want an office are likely doing so in the expectation that there'd be people there. What actually happens is that the office is semi-empty on most days, and you'd get a few ghosts here and there (unless there's mandated office days).

So in the end, hybrid (without mandated days) is basically the same as WFH.
