[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the market will adjust. 
Case in point - I am currently hybrid flex. I have 2 job offers. One requires 3 specific days in office and one is also hybrid flex. I straight up turned down the one with more rigidity (and told them the reason) in favor of the one that is just as flex as my own. 
Desirable candidates will always have sway and companies are realizing it’s up there with salary and sometimes in fact you can pay people less to let them choose. 
Had a good conversation about it with the co that mandates and they were quite thoughtful about it. Imo it’s a cultural red flag that a. A company needs to oversee in this way and b. That they hire people who need that kind of oversight to be productive. 
Your job should be driven by workload not by hours. End of story [/quote]

The rigidity of the in-person schedule is so that people are actually together in person on the same days to reap the benefits of being together.  To me it’s a red flag that a company offers people a flexible hybrid schedule.  That means they just want to say they have ass in chairs some of the time and don’t have any real clear idea why they are doing it.  If you’re not there at the same time as others, kind of no point.

This issue and how you feel about it seems very driven by the type of work you do.  Comments about workload and productivity speak to individual contributors who don’t need to work much with others and don’t tend to manage people and relationships don’t matter as much.   Anyone who is sitting on zoom all day talking to people or in meetings does not want to WFH the rest of their life because it’s hell on earth.

I zoom all day and hell on earth is doing it from the office.
