They don’t classify if that’s continuous or one-time to get a laptop replacement. I would guess the latter
- lamename 5y agoI would also add that 60% coming back doesn't necessarily mean those people prefer working in office full stop. It could be partly that, partly people enjoy flexibility but are tired of the monotony of home, or other factors. Ask that same 60% if they wanted a month of work from home pre-COVID and I'd bet on at least 33% saying yes, if not more.
- nstart 5y ago+1 to this. Remote work vs work from home during pandemic times are very different experiences. The latter is definitely not pleasant in the long run. Even though I worked from home as a usual practice pre pandemic, breaking up the monotony with an occasional hot desking at some other place which may end with a board game night, or working a bit from a coffee shop, is the kind of thing that made remote work such a joy normally.
