Potentially Controversial: I like being back in the office on a hybrid schedule. (I’m in the office Tues-Wed-Thurs.) Is anyone else happy to be back at work? I like having some face-to-face meetings and scheduling lunch outings with colleagues rather than just lunch dates with my cat.

Nope, not for me. Cube life is terrible IMO, but glad you enjoy it.

Thanks. Very positive attitude.

Nope. I was fully remote for four years and loved it. But, if I don't have a choice, then hybrid is better than full-time RTO.

Yes I do! It’s partly why I took a 17k pay cut to do a job that is not 100% remote. I was beginning to be my only friend. And I don’t even have the cat! But this go round I loved the Christmas events on campus, birthday lunches and just being around laughter again. I’m happy being home 2/5 days… but overall no complaints! I was wfh about 8 years!!!

A career is about making money so I can live a life outside of an office with real friends and family.

Nope. You can have friends and life outside of work. Why don't people have a life outside of work anymore?

I just resigned from a WFH job and start my new in-office job tomorrow. I am excited! I like working with people. I do wish we had a remote option though like for when my kids need to stay home sick and I could still get work done, but I’ll manage as they’re really only sick enough to be home 1-2x a year.

The reasons you cite are why I like hybrid. It’s the best of both worlds.

Agree. I like the hybrid schedule and really like interacting with humans in an office!
