Employees around the globe have seen drastic changes in work culture during the last few years. A list of changes has happened in the operational pattern of the jobs. Employees have started working from home and the organization introduced new technologies. Project management application and online management systems have made their fortune in this period. Things were going well and several companies felt that they could permanently switch to work from home and save their operational costs. But suddenly on 17 July, 2022 news popped up that Elon Musk has sent an email to Tesla employees with the subject line "remote work is no longer acceptable". Musk clearly said that employees either return to the office or lose their job. This raised a debate that whether work from home affects the productivity of employees up to a level where he can be terminated. Hybrid work could be the future of organizations or the new normal was temporary. The response will surely be ascertained over time and the actual situation can only be seen in the future. But researchers have tried to know the scope of hybrid work culture among the employees. Researchers have considered the work-life balance, productivity, and job satisfaction aspects of employees.
