re: Bosses’ opinions of remote work changing quickly

Good luck hiring people. The cat is out of the bag. The only people who will be willing to go back into the office are the weirdos who actually like it because they can't stand being alone and the people with no choice. High performers will peace out and get a different job from home.

My previous employer doesn’t support WFH. Even during the height of pandemic, they had the majority of people coming into the office. I didn’t mind it much at all.

I spoke to my former supervisor last week and he’s been having a decent number of talented people leave for less money at places that have a full WFH option or even a
hybrid schedule.

I don’t know if it will stick - but lots of people are seeking the WFH option still - and many places are offering it as an enticement still.

I’ve been working in offices for almost 30 years. I can see both sides of the argument.

I prefer an office because I like having a “place to go” and do my job. It just feels more natural to me.

Now if you want to talk about shorter work days or 30 hour work weeks for everyone…I’m all for that.
