It all depends on what we mean by "hybrid." If it means going into the office to use Zoom, then no thank you. Remote is draining but convenient, in-person collaboration is energizing but inconvenient. Hybrid done wrong is the worst of both worlds.
I find it interesting that we always frame it as if we all perceive it in the same way.
I find in person to be draining, so the opposite of you.
I guess this is the core of the difficulty. Not everyone feels the same but very often we’re forced into someone else's ideal.
I agree with your main point - hybrid isn’t great when it is too prescriptive. Works well enough if each team is given the flexibility and latitude to decide what works best.
I agree with this. Driving into the office to be stuck on Zoom is not fun. My team is spread across three geographic regions plus people that are WFH that day. No matter what, we have to be on Zoom to collaborate. I’m not sure how this makes us more productive…
