Hybrid versus 100% remote working

We were strongly encouraged to go in to the office yesterday for an ad-hoc whiteboarding workshop so face to face would be so much better. Therefore I go in, meet with my team, only to find out that the project manager (permie, who insisted on the face to face) had booked a room with no projector nor whiteboard. No other rooms available
So we ended up all in that same room, in a Teams call with each other and all working on a Miro board.
I don't think any more face to face workshops will be organised for this projectComment

I personally love being in an office. I live in London and love meeting new people and engaging. I have a number of social hobbies including running, cycling and gym which are also vastly more enjoyable than on my own.
Prior to Covid, I would also setup socials for the team and company which became a regular occurrence that at least once every 3months we would all do something collectively.
There will be plenty of time to be on own when we are 6ft under, just trying to make the most of the time while we can.Comment

There's also the cultural aspect, remote working companies seem to be so much better than hybrid/fulltime places. It's like they understand you're an adult and trust you to do work without supervision.Comment

I'm sure many of those who prefer remote working would be more amenable to regular office days if it was only a short trip away. When you've spent 30 years commuting, wasting 3 or more hours of every working day and a considerable amount of money travelling into work for no good reason, your viewpoint is a little different.
