I think I'm #1, definitely not #2 or #4 and with honesty a little bit of #3, if only because it's a necessary but not sufficient part of #1. I've taken the sum

I've taken the summer off work rather than continue WFH because I just don't see myself or others being very effective and it destroyed my motivation and love for what we were doing. I manage 2 teams of 10 developers and truly believe they do better work when given time to work colocated. Funny enough my best was (and is) the only true 100% remote worker. He's strong technically & domain and I see how much extra effort he puts in to make remote work; I don't believe everyone else has the foundation or work ethic to do the same.
If we don't go back to a majority of colocated working I'll probably find another job or do something independent. If I'm going to work from home I might as well do it my way...
- ghaff 6y agoI appreciate your perspective and I'm afraid folks like yourself will be among the most affected long term. Based on everything I see, the "new normal" will be a lot more remote and at least partial working from home. I don't expect a lot of tech companies will go back to 4-5 days of office work as the standard. Where I work admittedly had a fairly significant remote/WFH component but it's pretty clear that it's going to go way up.
