This is why I actually like my hybrid schedule which is two days in the office and three at home. 1 day per week in office would be enough most of the time, but the regular in person does help with feeling connected for a lot of people but 5 days is massive overkill.
We switched to hybrid once covid died down, but the genie was out of the bottle. Most people didn’t want to come back. Since they also implemented a system where people chose what days they were in, it was hard to get proper overlaps. That company is now fully remote and have leased out their offices. As long as the hybrid is thought out, I do think it can work.
We all had the same days in the office so it was worth being in the office, so that was thought out. Some people don’t want to work from home and they work in the office 5 days a week which works for them. I’m just glad we have flexibility!

I think any company that isn’t flexible and forcing 5 days in office (for those who work on computers) is on borrowed time.
