It all comes down to the employees. Training younger, new hires over Teams is a chore, and I know I've had a harder time building rapport with people I rarely meet in person.

That being said, I also see why wasting time driving in is kind of awful. I like a hybrid two days a week approach.

My experience has been full WFM for about 18 months and hybrid 1 day in the office for 18 months for another organization.

I agree with the point above 100%. WFH has many major benefits and some major drawbacks. Work rapport is virtually non-exist lane unless you go out of your way to make that rapport happen. Either way, it’s a struggle if the other teammates don’t feel the same. The benefits of teammate rapport can be argued but I’m not here to do that.

2 days office and 3 days WFH seem to me the mutually beneficial to both sides.

This is the future. Hybrid creates some accountability as you have to show you can be presentable in person and have the ability to communicate like a human.

This. My job just started requiring 3x days a week but I would much rather prefer 2x. Less time in your car, less time your kids have to spend at daycare, more time for family, and I actually get more done at home without the distractions.

I agree hybrid is the way to go.
But in some areas remote is perfectly fine. But you have to Micro manage a bit more with deadlines and deliverables...i love being able to work from home when needed but I still like the office setting.
