I post this same observation on every thread I come across related to RTO/WFH dynamics in the workplace …

Any CEO who has had employees working from home productively for the last 30 months would be a fool to force them back to the office.

Think of all the costs of leasing and operating tens of thousands of square feet of office space. Now, think of how much money the company saves when employees willingly take on all those costs themselves.

Like I said … any CEO who doesn’t see the pragmatic wisdom of this should be fired.

It all depends on the type of work and industry.

Problem is, most people who work from home claim their productivity is higher, and most people that are responsible for managing people that work at home know that isn’t even close to true. In my estimation, about 15-20% of people can be trusted to work hard from home.

I agree 100%. My company's productivity went WAY up after the weekend (February 2020?) they told everyone to work remotely during the Covidiocy. We were prepared and got a huge jump on our competition because they all got blindsided.

Now that it's done, they are saving big on expenses associated with having facilities running heat/AC and janitorial services, you name it. I believe for me and colleagues, it will be left to a optional thing.
