God just make WFH a standard already. Compaies get to save on rent. Employees save on commute. This is win-win. What is the hold up here? The biggest loser would be large real estate guys and honestly I cant care less about them.
Yeah but then these self-centered extroverts who rose to the top of the pyramid in an office environment would have to deal with the reality that not everybody shares their preferences and that their work style isn't objectively better. Can't have that!
Plus you expand your potential talent pool and decrease emissions.
I like working from home and I would also find it pretty f-ing great to be able to access a pool of interesting jobs without having to move to San Francisco. However let's admit it, it's not only real estate that loses with WFH. A lot of businesses, bars, restaurant, transport and travel companies, nurseries, you name it... depend on people commuting every day, sipping overpriced lattes, dry-cleaning their suits and going for a quick pint at the pub with colleagues. All the money I'm saving by working from home is money that someone else's job currently depends on. And some of the money other people are saving is funding some jobs at the company where I work too. Maybe mine too?
The city I live in is one of those business cities with overpriced rents that would probably lose over 50% of its population almost overnight if WFH became the standard. Including probably me and my family. The mayor, unsurprisingly, has been one of the biggest fans of return to office.
And yes, I do think WFH is the path to a more sustainable and humane future. But arriving there so suddenly could be problematic for more than real estate moguls. I think there has been a cultural shift and we're hopefully going to get there, but saying "ok, the last one to leave Manhattan please turn off the lights", going back to our small towns and expecting all our current salaries to still exist is not realistic. Over time (and I don't think it's going to take generations, just maybe a decade or two) things will gradually adjust, people will start selling their houses in the city, new, smaller local businesses are going to emerge, the window cleaners at skyscrapers will have found a new job or retired.
People still do all those things. A big part of my friend group is all WFH, but we still go out to bars, restaurants, etc.
