1) families or other people who have a large amount of responsibility outside of work, absolutely love hybrid
2) recluse engineers who love being alone and socialize on the internet, even 1 day in an office a week is unacceptable
3) Those who live elsewhere
4) Those who want access to a non local talent pool
5) Those who are local but still don't want to add a commute to their work day
6) Those who don't want to pay for an office. (Including workers who would rather see it in their paychecks)
We still haven't solved out the way to balance offices and remote workers, but I am grateful that we're at least being forced to ask the question. We are recycling formulas from factory work that need to be reconsidered.
