They want people to work from where they’re most comfortable, which is why they are using a hybrid workplace model for the foreseeable future.

Hybrid means that they encourage working from the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and the remainder of your time from either home or the office, but it’s not required. You’re welcome to work from either location all or some of the time, depending on what you think is best and safest for you, and how the Covid-19 situation is developing where you are.
