Sudden removal of the hybrid model and shift to 5 days work from office is disappointing
• In cities like Hyderabad and Bangalore, daily commuting can easily take 2–3 hours, which is exhausting and unproductive
• For roles like Principal Customer Success Manager, most work involves client interactions across regions (calls, emails, Teams meetings) and can be done effectively remotely
• The time lost in commuting could be better used for focused work, improving productivity and employee well-being
• A full-time office mandate risks pushing away experienced employees who joined appreciating the flexibility and balance offered earlier
