People have been hailing WFH after COVID as a lasting change. But it has always been clear that non fundamentally remote companies will never accept this as a permanent solution.
Hybrid is a really bad in between, the advantages seem marginal (more flexible remote days, less needed office space) to the disadvantages (people will still be mostly remote in meetings, commute times still a factor, work environments need to be duplicated between home and office).
Hybrid works, but you need to make sure that all relevant people are there to make it work. That usually means everyone in a department has to be in on a certain day and that people who interact with other departments are also in on certain days.
You have to maximize face time to make hybrid work.
