Hybrid sucks. It’s like the worst of both worlds.
If you are going to have meeting with remote and in office, never have anyone in a meeting room.
As a hybrid worker myself, I honestly enjoy it. I’ve got an open office with a couple of new hires that I’m mentoring. I can bother people at their desks, rather than fighting to schedule them over Teams for a five minute talk. Lunch spots downtown are genuinely good and I can stretch my legs a bit walking around.
Then I’ve got W/F to myself at home, so I can roll out of bed and dive in and eat out of my fridge.
The worst part about my job, atm, is that all our DBAs are these overseas contractors who are constantly coming and going and don’t know our systems past whatever documentation got telephone-gamed to them over three prior managers. Would love for a little less work from a trans-Pacific timezone home, tbh.
Seems like your documentation should be out in the open not sent over to them. You should all be looking at the same thing.
Bothering people at thier desk is exactly what I do not want. Why not put your question into teams or what ever you use, and it will get answered when they have time?

Take that up with my utterly dysfunctional security-through-obscurity obsessed managers.

Because Teams is constantly ringing, as everyone is on a dozen different groups with back-and-forth that they aren’t really a part of. So we’ve stopped paying attention to Teams messages in real time.
Also, sometimes its easier to carry a laptop over to someone and show them a thing with a simple question than to Teams in and share screen when they’ve got a dozen things up on their own monitors.
