Because we need another WfH/remote debate

Companies with flexible work policies are growing more quickly than those that require people to be in the office full-time, according to The Flex Index,

Specifically, in the last year, companies—regardless of their size—that are fully flexible added jobs at more than twice the rate of companies that were full-time in office.

Even companies that offer some level of flexibility, whether it be two or three days working from home, have grown more quickly than those that require full-time in-office.

Maybe the cause and effect is reversed - fast growing companies may need remote/hybrid workers because it is the only way they can get enough help.
The fact that they use remote/hybrid workers is probably not the cause of the company's growth.

Anyone think there will be a reverse trend at some point? A push to start going back in to work?

Companies are trying to reduce the carbon footprint.
I worked for a company in Houston that was driven by the carbon footprint reduction idea.
Funny thing is we didnt have a hypbrid schedule, we drove into work every single day during covid and beyond.
The world we live in.

There are people who can work from home and people who can’t. It’s been my experience that usually the people who can’t work from home also hate the fact that some people can, so they ruin it for everyone. I admit I work better in the office, but I don’t care where my coworkers are as long as they get the job done.

I abstain from voicing my opinion one way or the other on this debate (partially because I don’t think there’s one correct answer), but I always laugh when the “work from office” proponents cite slacking off as a concern with people working remotely.
I have never seen as much screwing (sometimes literally) off as I have in the office of a multinational corporation. Ping pong tournaments, 3 hour Starbucks runs, naps in the bathroom, sitting around gossiping in a conference room for an hour, multi-hour planning sessions spread over 2-3 weeks for the holiday party etc.
ETA: just remembered we had several fat women who brought their running shoes to the office and would power walk a lap on all 4 floors during their “lunch break”. This was at a major credit card processor in the Midwest, for those who care.

Chatted with a company today about a non remote job in Philly i was told it’s actually remote but we don’t advertise remote work it’s Philly you have to really want to work here it helps weed people out. I am like you are telling me this in an interview OK

Hybrid seems to be the normal now. Not even set days in the office either. People come to work when they need to and work from home when it makes sense. Pretty refreshing in a professional work environment. At least where I work, works very well.

Just wait until employers realize WFH can mean WFI/P/G and M, where I=India, P= Philippines, G=Guatemala and M=Malaysia
