"We believe that a structured hybrid approach — meaning employees that live near an office need to be onsite two days a week to interact with their teams — is most effective for Zoom"

If only there was some kind of chat/video conferencing software you could use to collaborate with your team anytime you wanted...

employees that live near an office need to be onsite

Sigh, why are you punishing people based on where they live?

That's a great way to ruin moral. Create 2 classes of workers.

I think it depends on it is implemented company-wide.

I'm fortunate enough that my company lets us choose whether we're full-remote, hybrid or on-site.

I think that's the best way to implement this, since it's the worker's decision on how they want to work.

I think that the only major difference is that hybrid workers that are on-site most of the week have a designated desk and chair like the always on-site workers.

The full-remotes have to book one of the several rotating desks that we have if they want to come to the office.
