Ask HN: Who's getting pulled back into the office?

Yes I think forced hybrid is the worst of both worlds. If I can't use the fact that my job is remote to move somewhere that's cheaper so I can have a proper office at home, then I am stuck living closer to work and working in a smaller apartment (EU) and having to deal with a different work environment 1-2 days a week. In Hindi there's a saying, "dhobi ka kutta, na ghar ka na ghat ka" - essentially that you're like a dog that doesn't belong either outdoors or indoors.

If it is your own choice though, its a different story.

Yeah it's dumb. I guess it makes WFH more socially acceptable, which is better than 4/5 expected days before covid. But it's dumb.

I think everybody is gonna quit and just compete for remote jobs.

Same situation for me. Hybrid means I need stay near office.

I commute to empty office daily
