Hybrid work only works if you actually coordinate what happens in the office.
My employer softly demanded everyone return for 3 days a week to "collaborate", but I work with customers all day so coming to the office just meant taking Zoom calls on my laptop in the middle of a barebones open floorplan office, instead of in the quiet of my well-equipped home office. Thanks to my sane managers, I'm getting away with only one day a week right now, but that's my least productive day.
If I'm ever demanded to be present the majority of the time, I intend to haul the mountain of IT equipment my employer doesn't understand that I need for my job into the office to make a point. I'm doing them a favor by running that shit at home, really. I'd probably blow a breaker plugging it all in, knowing the state of the office wiring. Sorry, looks like I need my own office for all this if you want me here.
LOL My employer wants us to come in at least two days every pay period (every two weeks). But, of course, we're not all going to go in the same day - we can't, there's literally not enough space - so instead of calling in to meetings from home on those days, we'll be calling into meetings from a cubicle.
WHAT IS THE POINT? They're having a difficult time convincing us this is a good idea.
A little more backstory: We've been fully work-from-home since the pandemic began. They decided to renovate the building, so we all brought our stuff home and archived or destroyed stuff we no longer needed. So we've been work from home for almost four years now and things are rolling along nicely. It's really difficult to argue that we somehow need to be in the office now.
I had an employer who fully renovated their offices to the cost of multiple millions and then dragged staff back in. I got a full remote job and haven't looked back.
