[quote=Anonymous]I think the problem with the Remote Work For All movement is that it’s not practical across the board and doesn’t work for everyone or every company or every industry or every job.

During Covid, the majority of office and education workers did it because of being forced to by the US government. Business and education had to keep moving forward despite the shutdown. This led to a large number of American workers becoming used to a new normal of WFH, even though WFH is not the best solution for all companies going forward. It was a temporary fix to a temporary problem.

Now that problem has been resolved, but many workers understandably prefer to stay remote. Some companies can keep their workers remote and thrive, but others can’t. But many workers want to stay remote even if they work in a company/role/industry where remote work is not a viable option for ALL of the workers for the long term.

Corporate policy is not conducive to “pick and choose” scenarios, where you allow some teams or individuals to work remote and force others to be in office. It’s easier from a company policy perspective to give everyone the same guidelines (ie all remote, hybrid, or in office).

Everyone now has this expectation of remote work, but it’s not feasible for everyone. And that’s the problem we’re working through as a country right now.[/quote]
