Like Parag notes in the letter, a hybrid work environment is hard. Harder than just remote or just in person. The note about remote zoom meetings where some people are in a conference room rings true for me in my company. It's hard to feel as present when half of the team is together having side conversations at the table and you're just on the screen looking like a doofus.
On the office people to cut the side chat and pull their team members in, otherwise the dofusses are in the office.
This sentiment is reminiscent of those sci-fi dystopia stories where to make everyone equal, the strong are constantly chained to heavy weights.
Would you support office noise being pumped into your home, to erase your unfair advantages around focus?

If you don't want your team members to participate, just don't invite them to the meeting. I get what you're saying, but you also need to understand that people do things and don't catch themselves. Like men talking over women in meetings. Do the ladies just need to let the big strong men pull those heavy weights? Or do the men let everyone participate. People in general need to let space fill itself and give others room to speak.
One outcome here is “WFH” falls into the startup “Unlimited PTO” fallacy where it is a benefit that is socially unacceptable to exercise with the exception of a few roles.
I,e, It exists, in theory, but is elusive in actuality.

The actual tweet is less restrictive than "return to office" sounds. Full-time WFH is still an option, apparently.
Yeah, I wanted to edit the title but it won't allow now. More like 'Twitter allows working from office'
This announcement is more like 'the office will now be available to you' rather than a requirement that anyone besides datacenter workers be in-office
Step 1....I'm assuming this is what's happening with my company too.
We announced April offices are back open.
Step 2. will be hybrid for supervisors/managers
Then returning everyone.
My guess is all back to normal by October.

That assumes that the great resignation in tech won't still be continuing as people jump around between companies, or more hard to say and probably less likely, yet another strain cropping up.
