There is an interesting trend, that the highest quality people are frequently not required to work from the office. I have a friend who works at IBM on a super cutting edge tech and he has been doing it from his yacht (a small one, nothing fancy) for the last 5 years. (Now with Starlink available he is really happy). James Hamilton at Amazon also does that. So it might be possible that the market pay a premium for work from office job and suffer the commute. Or the better people won't work in your company. Also the hiring pool might be smaller when you pick from the pool of candidates in geographic proximity of your office. And may be our notion that I pay for all your 40 hr./week work hours will be modified and more "freelance-like" arrangement with 10 hr./week or piece work with fixed retainers would be popular. After the pandemic, the globalization has arrived in full force. Now you can work from whatever you like, but you'll compete with everyone in the same time zone, not in the 40 miles radius from the office.
