WFH either works or it doesn’t. If it works, it will happen. Outsourcing either works or it doesn’t. Short of regulation, if it works, it will happen.

Workers pushing for work from home isn’t going to change this. If in office is a competitive advantage, companies will pay more for in office employees. If it’s not a competitive advantage, no amount of workers not pushing for WFH will cause companies to pay for offices.

Clearly corporate leaders believe that in-office is a competitive advantage. That’s why they are pushing RTO, conspiracy theories aside.

If they are instead forced to offer universal wfh as a concession to the labour market, then yes, outsourcing might be more attractive.

Who is forcing them to offer universal WFH? Are you saying people pushing for WFH are going to be able to force WFH on every employee and every company?

I’m not saying people who are pushing for WFH will be successful, I’m speaking of a hypothetical situation.

No one is pushing for universal work from home, so there’s nothing to succeed at. I’ve never heard anyone say that they think no one should be allowed to work from an office.
