Flexible hybrid policy - rigid manager. Advice? I recently started a new job, and I’m confused about how my team is handling our company’s hybrid work policy. The official policy is actually very flexible compared to what I’ve seen elsewhere. For individual contributors (non-managers), the requirement is 8 in-office days per month, and you can spread those out however you want. For example: * 2 days per week * 4 days one week, 4 days the next, then fully remote after * even half days can count, as long as you hit the monthly total It also explicitly says there are no set required in-office days, and that employees can adjust their schedule based on their needs. However, I just started last week, and my manager told me that our team comes into the office 3 fixed days per week (Tuesday–Thursday). There’s no flexibility around which days we choose, and we’re expected to be there full days. So in practice, it feels like everything in the policy is being overridden by a team-level expectation.…
