How are people able to OE while hybrid?
I thought it's only possible for remote roles? Can someone please explain

For pikvm: https://docs.pikvm.org/tailscale/
For tinypilot: https://tinypilotkvm.com/blog/tailscale
If you have an ipad: https://tailscale.com/kb/1020/install-ios/
If you have an android:https://tailscale.com/kb/1079/install-android/
Connect your ipad to your pikvm/tinypiliot, and now you can access your job laptops at home while in the office.
Scripting
Utilize mac automator (https://support.apple.com/guide/automator/welcome/mac) and it will let you do things like schedule your git commits, git automation, send out slack or teams messages etc. Combine this with a pikvm and tinypilot and you will be as indistinguishable as a regular remote worker.
Make sure you don't share too much information during work
If you're driving from one office to another, do not bring your other badge with you to avoid RFID scans

Or you do what I did and take your J2 meetings in your J1 office and hand signal to anyone knocking on the door that your on the phone and in a meeting.
oh, um, always use the same virtual background I guess is my tip.
oh, yeah, and keep some "meeting clothes" around. You want to always look roughly the same whenever you're on video so that they can't distinguish when you onsite.

Was this in your own private office or did you reserve a meeting room.
In my experience at least they have these very public group work areas or desks that are very close

Because a lot of companies require windows, I found this: https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/
It's a Windows version of Mac Automator.
I'm not suggesting install this on work machine (probably a bad idea unless you're the IT guy in charge of finding such things. Or you're the IT guy's drug dealer in which case you give him a little something "extra" so that he doesn't notice), it might be useful for driving your J's windows laptop from your windows laptop, such as through PiKVM or whatever
