I agree with both of these hot takes… I love a hybrid approach because I really enjoy the random conversations that crop up in the office… but my social life is so much improved outside of work in the last year or so that everything about physically being present feels tedious. I have a coworker I call to talk shop for a few minutes and then bullshit for another 15-20 minutes almost daily when I’m wfh. I’m very strongly considering asking my boss if my in-office/wfh ratio can switch from 3/2 to “whatever I want” Better social life makes work feel like work. My drive to get stuff done has gone up, because I’ve gotta get out at a good time.

The problem with the hybrid approach is that I’d still have to live in the area. However I want to be geographically independent from my employer and prefer a quiet, low cost of living area as my home.

  Yeah, in that case solely remote works best for sure. Maybe you fly to the office (if there is one) a couple times a year… though still nice for that to be optional

I agree. I think the hybrid approach is the best. It lets both sides (for the most part) have their cake and eat it too.
