I'm an engineering manager and everyone on my teams has a different specific vision of "perfect" but all want "more flexibility". I think we can do this but it's both (1) new and (2) more complicated. The bigger you are the more efficiency benefit to adopting a one size fits all approach, even if it fails some.

Agreed, but I'd replace "flexibility" with "choice."

The "choice" is whether to work in the office, or remotely, or a few days of each. Everyone gets what they want!

Flexibility in this context tends to mean "all employees must do some of each every week." Worst of both worlds.
