Some companies see a real benefit from water tank conversations

There are real benefits to water cooler spontaneous talk. However, they don't overcome the detriments to having all your staff commute all the time on the off chance one will occur to produce a positive result.

face-to-face meetings, and the ability for managers to ask someone in person on a moment’s notice to do things.

These are largely dead in hybrid scenarios, because those that would be meeting face to face don't work in the office on the same day. So the practical result to hybrid is the worker loses productivity from the commute to come into the office for one or two days an sits at a desk alone all day in video meetings with their coworkers just like they'd do at home. The next day their coworker does the same while the original worker is WFH that day.

I work at an office that started hybrid after covid because enough employees quit when they went to full RTO. The IT department ended up with 2 days in and 3 days remote, but the 2 days are the same for everyone so that we are all in the office at the same time for the spontaneous conversations.

It works pretty well. 2 days to collaborate and keep up relationships, the other three days to get individually completed work done.

I am not op but I'm pretty sure they're speaking from the point of view of companies, not agreeing with their ideas

Yep, I get that. I'm responding to that point-of-view of those companies, and how I believe its in error. I have nothing against the poster or their comments.
