Contrary opinion: If you're riding a desk and don't interact with customers directly or deal with manipulating a physical good, you don't need to work in an office. It's wasted money all around. Wasted space at the office. Wasted money and time for the commute. My car insurance has gone down since they sent me home for COVID because I'm not on the road anywhere near as much. Plus I don't give a flying monkey's rump about gas prices. They're completely irrelevant for me now. I can literally walk to the grocery store. Food's gone up a bit, but it hasn't come close to consuming what I've saved versus when I had to drive to work every day.
Companies should be measuring their salaried employees based on what they produce, not how many hours they worked to produce it. If I can meet all my objectives and make my boss look good in 20 hours a week, that's me being awesome, not lazy. I get to choose if I spend more time doing more awesome stuff, or dig into a new skills course, or pat myself on the back and head for the garage, or even take a nap. If my co-workers need 60 hours to pull off the same level of productivity, sucks for them.
If anything, the mass migration to remote work uncovered a lot of inadequacies. Suddenly people couldn't bullshit their boss in person anymore. Remote work forced everybody to adopt better management and tracking habits. The giant whiteboard with all the objectives on it turned into a spreadsheet and somebody's actually tracking what's being done and if it's getting done on time and who actually did it. When it comes down to checking off those action items, it becomes clear pretty quickly who is delivering and who isn't. We've squeezed a lot of people out that weren't pulling their weight. The first year was rough until everything re-aligned, but it's worked out long term, for me at least.
