There was not a single thing at my last job that I needed to do in the office that I couldn't accomplish at home. Not one. I know, because it was a hybrid schedule and I did the exact same thing both places. They didn't even need to get me equipment to do my work at home. I just did it on my computer I already had. Everything was either done directly on the company's website or was Google cloud-based and all of our meetings were via Zoom.

And yet, I had to come in half the week. It wasn't even a saving money on real estate thing because it was an office that was part of a big warehouse/factory, so they would not only need the space regardless, they could actually put more production lines in if they could take out the office space.

It made absolutely no sense.
