Of course it's too early to tell with lots of confounding variables, but labor productivity has been taking a steep dive[0]. So perhaps in the aggregate, WFH is resulting in less work being done. I say this as someone who's been full-time WFH for over a decade; I'm not taking a position one way or another. [0]: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MPU4910063
> “staggering 76% of employees stand ready to jump ship if their companies decide to pull the plug on flexible work schedules” People always say this, but I’d bet that the vast majority of those 76% would begrudgingly go in if it was demanded. Talk is cheap, as they say.
Then you're left with the worst people, people who are unhappy but stuck, and people who just can't be bothered to do anything about it.
Sounds like a great recipe for productivity! I love working with my fellow cage-mates.

It is unclear who wants RTO, at least within tech and other leaders whom I know within tech.
I worked from home before the pandemic, hated it, and vowed to never do it again. Then the pandemic happened.

Productivity shot up early COVID when people were scared and WFH started?
> The survey equates the displeasure of shifting from a flexible work model to a traditional one to that of experiencing a 2-3% pay cut. I think they forgot a 0.

Sample size of one, but I've thought about this a lot, and I decided I would hand in my notice if my company unilaterally demanded I physically present myself in a building for several days per week. I've never worked on-site in this job, and been consistently ranked highly in terms of productivity and responsibility.
