[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh, these things are rarely stagnant. At some point those 20 something’s will move out and want flexibility and leave. Or the old people want to travel and work half days from their son’s FL condo and want a laptop. Going back to a 90s style office doesn’t sound doable long term.

But, if they have the pay and the benefits stream, I’m sure they’ll find someone.

The most successful companies my friends work at are the most flexible. [/quote]

Sounds like stereotypes. People in the office spend more time networking, professional training and bonding with co-workers. I enjoyed my 3 plus years 100 percent remote. But for me personally I plan to retire in 6 years. I have a lot of knowledge I could train and mentor people, maybe who knows one last big job.

I did find the younger people I met seem to like it. I won’t name company, but they do a company picnic, Xmas party, volunteer days, people seem to like it there. I think they are looking for people like me.

I rather work hi-bred. But to be honest judging from traffic on roads a lot of folks are headed back. I do think WFH is here to stay but it will limit your career.

No way I would have done this without a big raise so if more people like me maybe not all companies will want to pay up [/quote]

Totally get it, OP. I WFH and have since before the pandemic but I miss a lot about being in the office. I’m making choices that suit my circumstances right now (younger kids) but look forward to making similar choices down the line. I will also encourage my children to look for a similar workplace for their first few jobs. At our (mostly remote) company, I’ve noticed that the new to the workforce people are really struggling and aren’t learning as quickly as they would in the office.[/quote]
