> I suspect we'll see a change to WFH, not because workers like it, but because it is cheaper and production doesn't change (not to mention it quickly reveals whose "production" is really just physically presenting in an office)

I’m unconvinced and very skeptical that on the average across all people that transitioned to WFH due to COVID-19 there is “no change” in measurable productivity.

The relative merits of WFH productivity wise are debatable. Being forced to WFH unplanned and against your will, during a stressful pandemic? If you think productivity isn’t down per hour* I have a bridge to sell you.

*A lot of workers are surely working more hours to compensate, or out of boredom. This presents a whole different set of risks.
