On a general note, this is a golden opportunity to snatch up all the talented people who want to WFH. But the WFH debate has shown that very few people want to put their money where their mouths are.
- jillesvangurp 3y agoWe're still in a market with record low levels of unemployment. So, those people will be fine and will find other jobs valued at what they are worth (which might be less than they imagine though). I think what's going to happen slowly over the next few years is that we are going back to more normal levels of unemployment. Which will lead to the usual competitiveness in the workplace and more opportunities for those who actually do show up in the office. And also a weakened negotiation position when applying for a job if you are looking to work remote. If there are other candidates willing to come to the office, you might miss out if you insist that you shouldn't.
- biogene 3y agoYes, I agree - This remote-work push-pull will be continuous based on who has the leverage at any given time. I exited the industry many years back, but I would not want to be a remote-only worker in a high income country competing with the global talent pool.
