Thanks for writing about this and providing insight! I was at a conference this week where this topic became very popular. I think flexibility is key with any remote or hybrid situation. If people have the ability, in office work provides the greatest opportunity for team building and mentorship. However, we’ve seen how fully remote opportunities help bridge the gap between companies and great professionals who may not live in the same city.
Well said! Having larger talent pools outside of the corporate offices create such a great opportunity, although I really do believe an in office component is necessary for some roles!
I think the bigger picture here is the office retail space that needs to be paid. It is not like you can just sell the office. Some of these companies have a loan from a bank in the form of a commercial real estate backed loan.
Someone, somewhere has to pay it off. If your employees fill a certain vacancy rate, then you can pay off the loan. But no company is going to say this out loud.

Very very good point… There may be ulterior motives to why they are going back, those should be heavily considered.
The closest place is often the farthest away.
المكان الأقرب هو في أغلب الأحيان المكان الأبعد.
