I know more than a few extremely skilled engineers who'd leave if their team wasn't local, simply because they hate doing everything over virtual meetings.

No matter how much I you puff up about the advantages, most workers will choose cutting their commute to zero with the lost costs/ time wasted as a net positive. The calculation on workers remote / local benefits and costs were always there, but they're certainly more heavily scrutinized now. So sure those guys will find the few willing to come to office while the rest just make more staying at home. Enjoy!

I, too, know people with odd habits.

They are still statiscal oddities.

If we’re talking about people with the “odd” habit of working away from home, they represent the great majority of humanity.

One has to be several layers deep in the bubble to think otherwise.

The great majority of humanity are forced to work away from home. The system of work and bosses was always a system of coercion, after all.

One has to be several layers deep in the bubble to imagine otherwise.
