Remote work is great and all... because that's our only option.
In the long term, I suspect there may be a greater inclination towards remote work, not as much as this report suggests, but overall work at office is here to stay.
I need to go outside and have a physical seperation between work and home.
- wintermutestwin 6y agoImagine if it were the norm though. You could move out of the Bay Area and afford a home with a dedicated office space. I worked remotely for 17 years and I found ways to create a separation. Sadly, I fear you are right though - there may be a slightly larger WFH push, but inertia of management by proximity will still be the norm.

Most of my remote colleagues do work out of their house but I've known people who wanted to create that separation and weren't near a company office so they rented a space. Sometimes companies will even pay for that. (Don't know our policy.)
