Companies going hybrid still need office space.

Itâs not helicopter parenting. Kids learn a lot from what the parents like and discuss.
My oldest kid would listen to conversations between a bunch of highly educated techies on subjects like math, science, computers, and economics and picked up a lot. Dad listened to Planet Money and son started listening too - at age 5. I liked to play Euro-style board game when people came over, and kid picked it up - at age 4 - he could beat adults by age 10. Even just parents reading to their kids every night is supposed to make a huge difference in their education. All of these very academic discussions lead to a better-educated kid. But does he know the rules of Football? No.
I donât helicopter my kids, but I do spend time with them.

Completely different from what I meant.
I alluded to parents who force their own choice of careers on their kids.
Every parent can raise their kid how they want.
It was just my opinion(which has zero value again, in my opinion 
).

I understand. Iâm just saying that one of the reasons kids of highly educated parents end up also highly educated is that theyâre picking up a lot of âeducationâ from conversations with their parents.

Should have been obvious to people who think about it for even one minute.
Asana, which makes collaboration software, recently gathered its executives for a discussion planning for the officeâs official reopening. Half the participants were at the San Francisco headquarters, and the other half joined by videoconference. The remote workers, including the companyâs chief executive, started to lose patience as people in the room talked over one another and made side comments.
âWe were joking that if we didnât like what somebody was saying on the screen, we could just mute them,â said Anna Binder, the companyâs head of people.
âWe all had such a terrible experience that we made a decision at the end of that meeting that all executive meetings going forward will be in person,â she continued. âOr they will be fully remote. Weâre not doing the in-between.â

Joking comes from someone unconscious mind. I am surprised that they let it print especially from Chief People person. 
Iâve been saying this for a few months now with more of these hybrid meetings - either everyone needs to be remote or in person - having a mix just doesnât work with any current technologyâŚthis is why fully remote people have disadvantage long term over those in the office

Iâve been saying this the whole time. Out-of-sight is out-of-mind, and women whoâve BTDT know this best. This is why I want to be in the office when I go back to work.
PS: From the article âLess formally, workers not in the office might miss impromptu conversations that lead to new opportunitiesâ
This is the crux of the problem and not something easily solved⌠If youâre not there with other people, youâre just not thereâŚ

Exactly. I have been pounding the table the whole time. Say for example only one person is remote and the team suddenly needs to discuss some issue at 4pm. But the remote guy is 3 time zones away and probably having dinner already. Do the entire team just waits a whole day? Or do they just quickly go to a conference room and resolves the issue right there right then?
So more and more the remote person would be left out of decision makings and taking a lesser and lesser role in the team. Will probably turn into a village donkey: just carry out the orders made by others.
