Hybrid is the way to go! I do not like full remote because you get out of touch with the teams and office politics. When I'm full on site I cannot get my work done properly. Hybrid mode allows me to manage my schedule better, get shit done while remote, and keep up with office's politics while on site.
I need something for the opposite (WFH the majority of the time doesn't really work for me, the company is officially “hybrid” but with all the people I work with almost always elsewhere I'm just remote but in an office with a couple of people on other teams).
Going by my own experience, everything being remotely or everything being in the office (regularly, but not necessary all the time) works best.It's hard to make a hybrid approach work, where some people are mostly in the office, and some people are always remote.However the extra burden falls mostly on the remote people, so I see not much of a reason to disallow people from going remote.
I'd just go with remote-first async material from companies like Gitlab, etcThe hybrid just means you also get the nice parts of going to the office, but for any remote work to work, async remote kinda needs to be default for the whole company, and the office are just perks
hybrid is the best! the company I work for does 1 day a week in-office for local employees, that's perfect
I would love hybrid. Going in a day a week would be great. Enough time to plan things and then get to working on it remotely. Unfortunately my company is going full 100% back in the office citing that's where everyone will be in a couple years.
some people like remote work some don't some like a mix. it seems the ideal solution is to give each group a flexible ability to do all 3 and not mandate anything , to maximize preference satisfaction. no?
To remote work vs in-office: why not both?
In most cases working hybrid is better than both in office or full remote. What do you think?
My office is on a hybrid schedule and so far it's worked out pretty well. I think for a lot of people it's not a question of whether wfh or the office is 'better', but being able to have some flexibility to suit their own circumstances.
