Hybrid or is full remote still acceptable?

Also, it would be interesting to know if some teams lost the ability to do full remote because of performance and what were the decisions that would trigger that.

Yes, most teams work remote, unless they have specific requirements, e.g. hardware, network setups etc. However many engineering teams love to hang out together a few days per week so they meet in the office. Consultants/services/support are fully remote and these team are usually distributed so they almost never meet in person.

And that makes sense that the development teams have some face time while the support staff which don't need to interact with others work full remote.

However, it does set a standard that those who show up to the office are more likely to move up in their careers.
