Companies think that a hybrid model is some kind of fair compromise, or perhaps the best of both worlds.

Hybrid means you'll commute to work to arrive in an half-empty office. In this office are people sitting in calls all day.

You cannot have good old fashioned face-to-face meetings in a hybrid model. Because part of the crew will be remote on any given day.

Likewise, you cannot catch up on a project at the coffee corner, because the remote folks won't see that. You need to put all of that in writing, just like you do when everyone is remote.

The work-related stuff does not change back to the old ways when you go hybrid, it will remain in remote mode.

What hybrid does offer is in-person socialization. Breaks, lunch walks, etc.
