Beware “Hybrid Conflict”

▤ Summary

This article has been bubbling under for a while, triggered when I stumbled across this Twitter thread making some predictions about the near future of work. Work location is dictated by the company (with specific days possibly guided by employee preference/team attendance). Here lies the tough decision any organisation needs to make before considering hybrid work patterns. Taylorism is not a great approach if you want to build performing teams to develop software effectively - something we have known for some time is a regressive organisational pattern. This is where the X:Y model fails: forcing people to commute into the office for a certain number of days per week "just because" is a thin disguise for an office-first culture.
