Any firms de-vesting physical office spaces? Heard rumor Deloitte is doing so... true/false? Any others?

Not Big4, but BDO sent a survey to all employees to see what our thoughts are on going back / staying remote. Our OMP mentioned that he thinks most firms will end up with 25% of the office space they had prior and just have people hotel in and out when they want / need to come in. Really hoping the flexibility and WFH sticks after all this.

Not something I’ve heard at Deloitte. I would assume we would send out similar surveys before decreasing office space. We’re already hoteling and when I would go in occasionally it was generally pretty full (most desks taken) so they’d prob need people to commit to WFH permanently IMO
