The typical office worker spends a half hour searching for new jobs at work every day.

I’m not sure this is a revolution or just that plenty of people have no real attachment to their employer.

Conversely, if an employer isn't willing to let employees do a job remotely after having had a year to see that they're perfectly capable of doing so, they clearly have no attachment to their employees.

#6I'm one of these workers. We decided to pack up and move from the bay area to a "tier 2" city pretty early in the pandemic and there's no way I'm going back. My only regret is not moving earlier.
We sold our home we purchased in 2017 and were able to buy a very nice home here in cash, nearly 40% of the total cost coming from equity in that sale. Without a mortgage the budget calculus changes significantly.

I don't find that second statistic believable. As someone who though almost every day about leaving a past job, even I didn't spend 30 minutes per day looking at job listings. In fact for a while I had to force myself to spend 20 minutes a day on that activity.

This is certainly going to vary from person to person, and will not be a _one size fits all_ kind of thing.
I am the exact opposite, and the year of remote working has probably been the best and most healthy year of my work life.
