I think that the number of people that want to go remote, are not the same as the number of people that we think want to go remote.
From my immediate team(20), there are two people who will go full remote. The _vast_ majority want something blended or flexible. Then there are some people ~3 who want to be in the office full time.
Granted this is for the UK.
I suspect that there is bias in news for remote only, because they are the sort of people who already put out a curated vision of them selves (ie linkedin infulencers) We know the archetype, and we know that they are not remotely representative.
- BoxOfRain 5y agoI've had a similar experience in the UK, in my previous job I was the only one who wanted to remain full-time remote this year. Management wanted everyone back in the office full-time so I ended up resigning and moving to a different company for a decent raise, but as far as I'm aware the majority of people there wanted either full-time office or hybrid working.
- KaiserPro 5y agocongratulations! I don't want to come across like I'm anti remote work. I want a company to support full remote, I think there benefits to how the company structures communications to allow full remote. I just don't think its wise to go all in either way, either full onsite or full remote.
- sam0x17 5y agoI've had the opposite experience. We had a team of 25 devs in Rhode Island, only 3 wanted to stay in the office in any capacity and all were open to the idea of permanent WFH. Several were excited about being able to move as a result.
