I’ve told every recruiter who has contacted me, I am available for 100% remote jobs only.

I’m not going back to the office. A lot of my colleagues feel the same way. Oh, and I’m Gen X, not Z.

“32,000 workers in 17 countries”... Now that is a solid statistic. Bravo. Offices, movie theaters and DOS programs are so 1990.

When I was working in the office we had people who regularly called in sick. When we were working from home we had those same people calling in sick....

Why do you think they call it "work?"

At the end of the day, the free market will prevail. The inconvenient truth for the "you must be in the office 5 days a week" crowd is that more and more companies are offering either a hybrid or a virtual work environment. Millennials and Gen Z workers with younger children, will be leaving the companies with the old school mindset and going with those that will better meet their needs.

Situations and technology have changed and, lets face it, there is no longer a compelling reason to insist on employees being in the office 5 days a week. Of course, there are some jobs where that is not feasible. For a lot of industries however,the old in the office 5 days a week is no longer necessary. Employees now have a choice as to which environment to work in and they now hold the cards. (There is a labor shortage if you didn't know) So employers better learn to swim or they will sink like a stone for the times they are a changing.

If you're sitting at home and your productivity is as high or higher than it was when you were in the office then what difference does it make>

My employer was at an impasse pre-COVID, with growth rapidly outpacing office space. We were either going to go hybrid with hoteling or lease more office space. COVID forced the first option.
