Employers have had DECADES to come to grips with remote work and to figure things out. Instead they stuck their heads up their butts and all but ignored it. Now there is a commercial real estate problem. No, really? Companies could have been saving MAJOR money by letting as many people work from home as possible. Of course, that would require good management that know how to actually manage people, which most companies don't have. Like DD said, I'm more productive working from home than I ever was in the office. There are certain positions that really benefit from working remote and they always will no matter how management tries to force things otherwise. Plus, the cat is out of the bag. People were forced to work from home for at least a year with COVID and know that it's a valid option, no matter how badly management wants it to not be true.
