I think your instincts about that are on the money. There really are a lot of attacks on remote work lately, from people like Jamie Dimon and of course Elon. There's just this attitude that people who work remotely are somehow cheating the system. I would bet a lot of companies will demand people get back into the office as no one wants to be the outlier when the trend is pointing to more RTO mandates.
I see your points, however I dont think its true to assume that people dont work as hard at home as they are in the office. In fact, I am way more productive at home as there is no distractions from coworkers and save time for traffic. I do think a few days in the office helps collaboration but no need for full RTO.
Companies have been making the change for RTO for years now. Big peak at the beginning of last year. Many of which take a complete turn away from everything that they did during covid. That being said though I have seen companies stay hybrid, just feels like we are bombarded with RTO headlines.
I think the media goes through phases. Two to three years ago, the focus was on companies—especially tech companies—rolling out fully remote policies. But now, the tide has shifted. I agree that these headlines don’t help the case for WFH for sure.
My department has also been on a hybrid model, but there’s definitely been some buzz about more in-office days. I’m hoping they’ll keep it flexible, working from home has been such a productivity boost for me personally. As long as they let us have at least one day working from home I'll survive, but I'd prefer to have at least 2 (I have 2-3 right now depending on my week)
Totally agreed. I'd prefer 2 or 3 days WFH; it just gives me a lot of flexibilities and avoid crazy traffic...
Not yet but similar to others, there has been a slow shift from completely remote to now having to do 3 days in the office.
Personally, I feel 3 days in office is more than enough as people would spend 60% time in the office per week. Granted, depending on the workload or project status, people may work in the office 1 more day.
