I honestly don't know. During last survey that senior mgmt is supposedly actually reading, there were clear prods from staff for full wfh and almost immediately afterwards we got a speech. You won't get as many opportunities when remote. Corporate America is going a different way. It is not about real estate. I want Shiller to be right. I am just not sure we ( wfh supporters ) can effectively organize.

Sell all your stock in any company that is trying to force in-office. I guarantee you they are rapidly losing anyone vaguely competent, let alone top talent.

  Rapid loss of talent is an exaggeration but the churn is real. What's likely to happen is that the churn in talent will allow smaller companies to grab remote engineers and actually compete with the large ones, while the large ones take 1 year to backfill each position in a VHCOL city that they are returning to.

If you’d like help unionizing to keep wfh as a right, email in profile. I have no economic incentive, I only want workers to have higher quality of life and agency. Empathy over income and wealth. Like a hacker, one must understand systems and then find their points of leverage to encourage desired outcomes. NLRB is halfway toward Joy Silk doctrine in force after the last week or so. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37269909 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37269909
