Polio, Monkey Pox, Covid variant x, environmental concerns, inflation. The office isn't coming back unless we fall into some dystopia where they force people back in.

People had a taste of life WFH during the pandemic. Overwhelmingly they loved working from home even though there were a minority who wanted a return to the office.

The hybrid model or remote work will be the only real possibilities going forward. Top talent does matter and is the edge that companies like Apple and Google use to stay competitive. They need that talent more that talent needs them. Plain and simple.

After 2.5 years of remote work, I feel like I'm living in a dystopia already.

I don't really think these are reasons to work remotely, at this point. Until we eradicate disease, we have and will continue to operate in a world with small but not-insignificant risk of disease transmission.

Lower pollution. At this point it's almost criminal to force people to go to the office. Companies should be required to apply and get approval from the government on a case by case basis and explain why that employee needs to commute to the office and add pollution to the air we share.

Im not taking a stance on disease risk. Im simply pointing out that many people will. And it will favor remote work.
