WFH works OK, but the majority of staff needs to be WFH. When it's the other way around, I find it just becomes a political nightmare. Office workers band together and it's rather trivial for them to sideline WFH. (eg, lunch / hallway / watercool, etc) Also, it takes awhile for the DNA of company to become WFH. Just sending office drones home rarely works. Ideally it would start out WFH. Likely these big time ceos that talk about going back to the office understand all this and would prefer not to kill their company by completely changing how work is done. No doubt the pandemic was largely a set back in terms of innovation and real (ie, money making) productivity. That said, starting up new teams as purely WFH with new hires and WFH culture is a good way to stick their toes in the water. Don't expect immediate success, however, unless you have some senior / veteran WFH managers with a track record of excellence. It's really a different biz. Even trickier, the products you build will likely reflect the organization and therefore seem alien compared to what you're used to. But it's all good! Everyone is remote (one way or another) these days, so why not have a workforce that reflects that? And, after all, the probability of finding the smartest people in your timezone(+/-) within X miles of your office isn't that great, even in SV / Seattle.
