It’s human nature to exert the least effort possible to obtain resources. Over time, employees will find more ways to slack from home while looking productive.

Corporations will make decisions based on what maximizes productivity.

I don’t think remote work will persist to the extent people believe.

There are exceptions to the first rule - when an employee is especially motivated. Even then, they’re one bad managerial decision away from checking out.

I’m aware of studies that support boost in productivity over covid, but I believe this is bc there are fewer distracting things to do during covid than normal.

If workers refuse to go back into the office, then the corporations will have no option but to support WFH. I for one would never again work somewhere that didn't offer 100% WFH. It would be the first thing I asked about in a hiring interview.
