Unpopular opinion: Hybrid work is often touted as the most 'flexible' option, but it's actually the opposite. 😶 US companies increased flexible work from 51% to 62% in 2023. Yet, 80% of HR execs say hybrid work exhausts employees. ❗ Why the disconnect? Let's talk about it. Picture a modern castle with hidden trapdoors leading to bewildering dead ends. That's hybrid work in a nutshell - promising flexibility but delivering unexpected pitfalls. Your mission? Spot these traps and sidestep them. Here are 3 hybrid flexibility traps to watch out for.👇 1️⃣ The Hybrid Management Scaries ☠️ What if your hybrid manager is clueless about remote work? A one-size-fits-all approach strips away the perks of hybrid work. Suddenly, you're not choosing when, where, or how you work. The result? A FlexOS report reveals employees rate their hybrid managers a lukewarm 7/10. Even worse, only half of professionals actually grasp their company's hybrid work plan. Nothing torpedoes a remote team faster than a rigid manager trying to micromanage from afar. 2️⃣ Invisible Work Creep 🧟 Hybrid work demands processes for both in-person and fully remote teams. The result? A mountain of 'digi-housekeeping' dumped on every employee's plate. 😖 This invisible work keeps the digital wheels turning, but it's time-consuming and often brushed off as unimportant. 3️⃣ Performative Office Days 🎭 If hybrid work is truly about flexibility, shouldn't some employees naturally thrive at home? Enter 'productivity theater' - when remote workers are forced into the office, despite being significantly less productive there. 🤔 Here's the question for you: Hybrid can be flexible, but who's really calling the shots on this 'flexibility'? #RemoteWork #HybridWork #Flexibility
