“Hybrid” is the worst of both worlds.

In cases where attendance is optional you’ll likely be coming to an empty office most of the time.

In cases where attendance is required on specific days you’ll find it chaos as people rush to cram all their “office” tasks (meetings, etc) of the week into that one day so there’s little potential for enjoyable interactions when everyone is running around.

I think the dilemma of remote work is that some of us moved to a place with worse available jobs. I’d take a pay hit, a prestige hit, and honestly even then I might end up at a lazily hybrid company with a ghost town office
