Sorry.
*We* are not going back.
Not going back to long commutes. Open office plans and office politics.
Not going back to cheap lunch in a plastic/cardboard box that costs a lot.
Not going back to paying high rent in bad cities without any quality.
Not going back to frivolous meeting.
Now after almost 2 years we have proved that yes the company can be run remotely, several things that were "not possible" are and the ultimate thing:
We can choose where we want to live and with whom.
We are not going back as same we are not going back to cable anymore.
- closeparen 6y agoNot going back to paying developed-country wages.

- krapp 6y agoYou're not going to have a say in the matter, and I think you're going to be surprised at how many companies consider WFH to have been an unavoidable aberration from a status quo they intend to return to as quickly as possible.
- SyzygistSix 6y agoWorkers not having a say regarding working conditions? Sounds like a recipe for poor morale and productivity.
- pdimitar 6y agoDepends how desperate the workers are. But I've known two companies now that lost 50% of their IT staff when they tried to enforce going back to an office so I don't think anyone can generalize. People who have little choice will do as their employer commands. The rest will move on.

- db48x 6y agoHear hear. Though I must say that I've only worked in an office for about three out of the last 20 years, so it'll be easy enough for me.
