> I think remote work has been subject to a massive hype cycle lately and won't pan out the way the optimists seem to expect. 100% agreed. Work from home is likely to see an uptick in companies that permanently allow it (or are open to it), but I very, very much doubt it will be the norm. > Flexible working arrangements, e.g. spending a few days a week at the office and a few at home, is the most likely outcome for most workers This is exactly what I want once I'm allowed to go back into the office. The isolation of working from home sucks, and the communication barriers even more so. I'd be fine going in all the time too, but living withing walking/bus distance of my office would be far more important to me then. I do not enjoy being fully remote, and short of long-term travelling, would never willingly do it again.
