  The problem? When workers say hybrid, they typically mean they want the flexibility to choose where they work from and when, all the time. (In a sign of how jarring this concept is to ingrained expectations, Gartner refers to this as “radical flexibility.”) On average, that will be three days a week from home, two from somewhere else.
