These executives are either delusional or dumb as hell, or they’re just blowing smoke up the collective @sses of the WSJ readers.

If your staff has been working at home for more than a year, there’s no compelling reason to bring them back into an office.

I saw an article last week in a commercial real estate publication that highlights the dilemma these companies face. One number that jumped out at me was that something like 40% of the people who have been working from home since last year not only don’t want to return to the office ... but they’re going to change jobs if they’re forced to go back.

The day I’m forced to go back is the day I retire.

Planning to go in 1-2 days a week. There’s really no need but we are all getting sick of the emails and the zooms, etc. But if they ever made 5 days mandatory I would definitely seek a different position.

“If your staff has been working at home for more than a year, there’s no compelling reason to bring them back into an office.”

Working from home has been a huge failure. Less productivity, more screwups becuse no face to face, hard for new employees to learn from older employees, on and on.

Everyone of my business clients hate it.

Productivity has suffered from being out of the office.

Rich people traditionally lived on high ground. Why? To keep better track of their workforce.

Neither I nor any of my colleagues wants to go back to the office. Ever.

You better believe the opportunity to work remotely will be a huge factor in deciding what consulting gigs I accept from now on.

Exactly what I said in my "self-evaluation" that was just required to be submitted.

Many employees have moved since working remotely. Especially younger folks. It’s a bigger problem than most people know.
