Does anyone else get major 1929 vibes when they read posts like this?
I suspect there may be a day where people are happy for any job that pays them to stay alive and have food, WPA style. An office might not sound so bad after a few years of laying sidewalks and repairing bridges.
The great layoffs have begun. People are still talking like it's the Great Resignation period. The very best can dictate their work conditions, as always. The majority of the workers cannot, and remote work is not here to stay for most.
If we get to the point where the choice is between starving on the street or going to an office, then sure I'll go to an office. But as long as there's at least a few companies hiring that offer fully remote, I'll find a way to make those roles work even if it's a bad team-fit or culture-fit otherwise.
