"Hybrid work is not the best of both worlds, according to an article in the Harvard Business Review from Wharton School Professor Peter Cappelli and HR strategist Ranya Nehmeh. And to be honest, I started this article with a closed mind because hybrid work is my favorite work schedule. I believe in the power of people working together, in the same space, and yet, I am also writing this in my bedroom, while wearing a bathrobe."
"Not everyone loves remote work By now, we're all familiar with how loud remote work promoters' voices are. If you say you support the return to office, they will come out of their hiding places and blast you on LinkedIn for being a controlling micromanager. Or threaten violence, like this: But the reality is much more nuanced. 32 percent of workers say they would prefer to be 100 percent remote, compared to 27 percent who say they wish to be fully onsite."
Hybrid work arrangements attract many employees but introduce significant complications for onboarding, learning, and coordination. Employee preferences split: 32 percent prefer fully remote, 27 percent fully onsite, and 41 percent prefer hybrid, leaving most wanting at least some in-office time. Remote setups can hinder new hires because they cannot learn by observation, cannot easily ask for help, and peers cannot readily see or assist struggling newcomers. Desk jobs are often assumed to translate to remote work easily, but structural barriers make hybrid work difficult to implement effectively without deliberate organizational changes.
