Let's not forget that the opposite is also true. Most of us were hired to work in the office (before COVID), but after COVID most (?) companies kept going in various forms of hybrid work. My team never went back to the office. I didn't sign up to work from an empty office and take every meeting on zoom, but that's what I got.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad remote work is more popular now because it allowed me to move close to family. But had I decided to stay in the city I lived for the last 6 years, I would have to leave a company I love and look for a new job because I absolutely hate remote work.
- smeej 3y agoI haven't seen the stats I guess, but with as much turnover as there was during and after covid, are most people actually working for the same companies they were in 2019? It's probably largely industry-dependent, and probably split along several demographic lines besides, but only a handful (<10%ish) of my coworkers worked for the company before the pandemic.
