during a team meeting last week, my manager emphasized that we need to be present in the office full-time. he menitoned the importance of collaboration for our projects and goals. i remember someone asked about a hybrid option, thinking it could help with work-life balance. my manager replied that there's no plan for that right now, citing company direction. it felt awkward, and a few people shifted in their seats. the energy dropped immediately. later, when i talked with a colleague in the break room, they agreed that working at home would make things easier. it's frustrating since other companies are flexible with hybrid work. we're stuck to old ways here, it seems. tl;dr: no hybrid options available at oracle right now.
