You're in the US though, right (based on your username)? Over here in The Netherlands, for one, I imagine a ton of workers aren't back in the office because our government is actively encouraging people to work from home. From what I can tell it's not mandatory, and I've heard from a few friends that they're back in the office more, but all those who aren't 'strongly encouraged' don't seem to have any desire to be in the office for four days a week and instead only show up sporadically (for meetings and whatnots), if at all. While as a WFH freelancer I can't tell for sure how things are working these days, I've noticed a few things: 1. whenever I go to my coworking space, it's still much quieter than usual. 2. in the morning I hear fewer people leave the apartment block, and fewer cars leaving the area. 3. official numbers of people using public transport (quite common here) are something like 40% down.
