I mentioned my situation twice, because it was relevant to both comments. I worked at a tech company. We had an internal poll when decision making was made around this, and the breakdown was about 30% prefer full time in office, 40% wanted hybrid, and another 30% wanted full time remote. The high performers who left were mostly in sales and marketing, for what it's worth. Engineering suffered almost no attrition, but IMO (and I say this as an engineer) SWEs are much more fungible than sales people even if they are more expensive. I think the discourse on forums like this one and Reddit, dominated by highly-online folks (especially engineers), has given folks a skewed perspective on the general population's preferences regarding office work. Most folks in my personal network do not work in tech. Among them the solid majority prefer a hybrid setup, with only a small portion preferring full-time remote or full-time in-office. But that leads to a very strong majority preferring that their organization have an active and vibrant office.
