It will take years before we have settled on work from home or office. I don't think a mix will exist, either entire team will WFH or WFO.

The good thing is the experiment has started. Many companies are becoming remote friendly. The long term effects of WFH on companies success will determine whether it will be WFH or WFO. Whatever it is the rest of companies will have to adapt to new paradigm.

I prefer the hybrid option but faced with the binary choice I would choose WFH. I'd forego money and even career opportunities for it. As long as I can pay the bills and do reasonably interesting and useful work it will be hard to lure me back. Maybe I'm an outlier but I suspect I'm part of a significant demographic at least.

Same. At least when I'm forced into (occasionally multi-)hour-long meetings that have no relevance to me, I can wander about doing chores whilst half-listening rather than being sat in an airless room wondering how I made such bad life choices as to end up there.
