That’s probably because the jobs you’re thinking of offer incredible offices. How would you feel if the office was just cheap fluorescent lighting lit cubicles in some shitty part of town? Maybe a cat poster for some motivation.
Yeah, I suspect this is where a lot of the 'debate' is coming from. My experience is that Google/FB/etc... have (a slight) majority preferring WFO for at least 3 days, and other companies are overwhelmingly WFH.
Even if this number slides to 50% in a few years, we've accelerated what would have probably taken 20 years or more of transition in to just a few years. The impact on every city and region outside the historical major growth centres will be huge. We are just in the opening phases of that change. A big %# isn't the only indicator of change, it's the amount relative to pre-pandemic.
Some people will take their big city salaries and move to rural areas. More power to them. After the pandemic, I figure we can all get together once a quarter or whatever and socialize. Otherwise, we can focus on getting work done.
