Interestingly enough, my employer has gone the opposite way - they're "shutting down" (that is, chose not to renew the lease for) our office in this city, and had all of us sign new WFH contracts. Same for the office in another part of Europe. Some of us were 100% OK with that, and some were really not - since the job wasn't expected to be a WFH job, not everyone has a good location to work from, or reliable internet, etc., etc - those people have been able to work from the office at various points over the last year as the pandemic ebbed and flowed. As a consequence, my employer has walked the office closure back a little - we're still all full-time remote, but there will be a smaller office available for e.g., project kickoffs, or people who want to get out of their house for a bit.
