Erreurs courantes à éviter
- ✕Not accounting for the fixed costs that remain regardless of days in office (parking passes often monthly, not daily)
- ✕Forgetting that hybrid workers often need BOTH a home office setup AND cannot give up their office space
- ✕Ignoring that some hybrid costs are higher than full-office or full-remote (maintaining two workspaces, two wardrobes)
