I don't know. WFH is harder for management. I don't think it will last after the pandemic.

#4Am I the only one who wants to work from home and still get the 30k-a-year raise?
jokes apart, if remote culture consolidates with different compensation and benefit packages compared with those in the office, we'll likely start to see lawsuits in that matter.

The thing is, if people value WFH then they may be willing to accept lower salary offers for those positions than they would for on-site ones.
I think that's the take-away for employers here.

Depends on the manager and on the team. I've been promoted while WFH so my employer is clearly happy with my work. But I have no interest in going back to the office and if they insist then I'll look for a new job.

It's harder for the type of management who sit in their glass aquariums and mostly make sure there are butts in seats. It makes that type of management redundant.

#9I can't stand fishbowl jobs. Cubicle farms make me depressed. I don't like being on display when I work.
Humans are animals. We stretch. We burp. We fart. We scratch ourselves. We eat. We drink. We dance. We might want to randomly punch something. We nap. We naturally do all sorts of things which are "unprofessional." When we get tired, we need a break to recoup and come back supercharged.
None of those interfere with getting stuff done.
I hate going to work in any job where I'm on display since I need to suppress all of that for 8 hours a day. More with most jobs.
I don't mind going in nearly as much if I have an office with a door which closes.
When I was an executive, I'd sometimes hold longer business meetings with people I knew well hiking, walking, on a kayak, or similar. Those were hyper-productive meetings compared to sitting in office chairs across a coffee table. It only worked for meetings which didn't need a whiteboard or computer, but that's a lot of meetings.
I won't say whether WFH or in-person is the future, but I suspect many traditional corporate practices won't survive.

Something about this feels very much similar to airplane pricing.
Intentionally make the default (come into work) option uncomfortable or inconvenient. Offer “upgrades” for more comfort (work from home) and convenience.
