Today locals discuss the return to the office and whether they should go back full time or if hybrid is here to stay. What do you think?

00:10Or bus driver. But if it suits the work, it's up to each office, I think. I don't think it should be

00:18a government policy. I think it's so important for work-life balance. How come? Because five

00:27days a week having to be in a particular place, it erodes so much spaciousness for hobbies and

00:40in the office and I think it's a bit more productive working in the office because you get to,

00:45I guess, get to know people and it's a lot easier to ask questions if someone is just nearby and just

00:50open a dialogue. When you're emoting it from home, it's harder to open those dialogues.
