Hybrid sucks. It's like the worst of both worlds.
If you are going to have meeting with remote and in office, never have anyone in a meeting room.
I love working hybrid. I feel like it’s the best of both worlds. You get 2-3 days in office where if you really have something collaborative to do you can just schedule it then, and then utilize the rest of the week on more singular tasks without the commute. I currently work 3 days in 2 days remote, and I think 2 days in 3 days remote makes more sense, but I don’t think I’d go out of my way to look for a fully remote job, and I definitely don’t want 5 days a week in office.
The key thing is that everyone who’s hybrid has the same days in office, and the in office days are consecutive. Without those two things hybrid is kind of pointless.
That last bit is HUGE. Part of what is great about working from home is flexibility and forcing people to be in on certain days just isn't ever going to work for everyone. Inevitably you will end up with meetings where one person has to dial in and now the rest of team is annoyed they made the effort to show up that day.
Anyway, I don't disagree with you that a hybrid where everyone is on the office together for some amount of time could be very good for productivity and teamwork. However, it just isn't a realistic which then, as you said, makes it pointless.
Just let people work from wherever works for them.
That’s why you affix the office days. Like Monday Tuesday. Then if you have a meeting Monday everyone’s together. If you have a meeting Friday everyone’s remote. That takes the guesswork out of it. And since that’s set in stone, they can tell you that in your interview and you’ll know whether you can make that work or if you’ll need to keep looking.
