Yeah, that’s a trash headline. This isn’t something that’s just happening from impersonal natural effects, it’s management trying to kill it. And at least as of March, 35% of workers with jobs that can be done remotely are working from home. This isn’t a “last gasp for WFH”, it’s a few big Silicon Valley employers trying to reassert control and their friends in the business media joining the cause.
I know I’ll never go back to an office and a lot of other WFH employees don’t even live near their companies anymore. Good luck retaining top talent if you treat them like children in need of supervision.
