This is something that has come up within our company (we are still waiting on official guidance). I love WFH, for all the reasons you've read in other posts.

If we have to return, I won't quit. That's reckless, imho. But my resume will be updated and I will be open to remote positions. Many of my colleagues feel the same way.

This is what I assumed it would mean. Not that people would spontaneously quit, but that there would be some 30% of the workforce looking to be out the door.

The reason I wanted to be clear about that is I have heard stories about people quitting on the spot.

I believe the delay in my company releasing their plan for return to office has a lot to do with IT. We are having issues with finding enough folks as is. I couldn't imagine what it would be like if 30% put their notice in.

I would assume that number would be substantially higher for at least IT department type workers.
Studies are showing closer to 55% than 30%
