Fully remote is the only way. In my experience hybrid workplaces are just as toxic. It could turn into full time office out of the blue like mentioned here or generally the ones showing up to the office get a bit of a preferential treatment if the boss also regularly shows up at the office.

I'm curious why even bring that up? No one is suggesting jobs that physically require your presences in a geographic location to be Fully Remote. When people are saying things like "all jobs should be fully remote" they're referring to all jobs that can be fully remote should be fully remote.

I enjoy hybrid....
I hate online meetings, so i go to the office 2x a week on days i schedule a lot of meetings
It also helps that i'm a very quick subway ride to the office, and i understand not everyone has that luxury. But that's a choice i made to live in the city instead of a 1hr drive to work
Hybrid work only works if you actually coordinate what happens in the office.
My employer softly demanded everyone return for 3 days a week to "collaborate", but I work with customers all day so coming to the office just meant taking Zoom calls on my laptop in the middle of a barebones open floorplan office, instead of in the quiet of my well-equipped home office. Thanks to my sane managers, I'm getting away with only one day a week right now, but that's my least productive day.
If I'm ever demanded to be present the majority of the time, I intend to haul the mountain of IT equipment my employer doesn't understand that I need for my job into the office to make a point. I'm doing them a favor by running that shit at home, really. I'd probably blow a breaker plugging it all in, knowing the state of the office wiring. Sorry, looks like I need my own office for all this if you want me here.
LOL My employer wants us to come in at least two days every pay period (every two weeks). But, of course, we're not all going to go in the same day - we can't, there's literally not enough space - so instead of calling in to meetings from home on those days, we'll be calling into meetings from a cubicle.
WHAT IS THE POINT? They're having a difficult time convincing us this is a good idea.
A little more backstory: We've been fully work-from-home since the pandemic began. They decided to renovate the building, so we all brought our stuff home and archived or destroyed stuff we no longer needed. So we've been work from home for almost four years now and things are rolling along nicely. It's really difficult to argue that we somehow need to be in the office now.
I had an employer who fully renovated their offices to the cost of multiple millions and then dragged staff back in. I got a full remote job and haven't looked back.
Not only that, but any hybrid job ties your location within some reasonable distance from physical offices. Sure, I don’t need to commute daily, but I also can’t like 100 miles away from any office.
