I really don't know what to expect for remote work in the future. The current trap is to think that we are currently doing remove work. We are not, we're doing remote work in a very unusual setup. Kids and partners are at home with us, we can't really leave our house, etc. This is not real WFH.
Additionally, a lot of companies were pushed into that almost over night without preparing for it. No experience with it, no tooling in place, no processes, etc. Maybe a lot of them experienced some loss in productivity due to that and will just conclude that remove work really isn't for them, it sucks.
The 2 things I really hope for:
* people experiencing a personal boost in productivity and better quality of life (mostly due to not having to commute) will be vocal about not going back to the "old ways"
* companies claiming that "proper work/collaboration can only happen in the office" will finally change their tune and end the hypocrisy. When forced to do it, they somehow found a way. Maybe it's time to final end this charade. Especially in tech, the work that can only happen in an office is so marginal.
