I donโ€™t have the kind of job that can be done remotely, but Iโ€™m all for remote work where itโ€™s possible and desired. My best friend hated working from home at the height of covid because heโ€™s an extrovert who canโ€™t really afford to go out much. Now he works from home Mondays and Fridays and I think itโ€™s kinda the best of both worlds for him. I think that employers that already have office space for workers that could effectively do their job from home should give workers a choice. Maybe hybrid workers have required scheduled days in the office just to make sure theyโ€™re there to attend necessary meetings or collaborations or whatever rather than it just be them coming in when they feel like it, but the technology has caught up to allow way more flexibility than ever before. If I had a 100% desk job, I would move somewhere cheaper and never come in. I know Iโ€™m not alone there, and I think thereโ€™s no reason to hold that option hostage. Covid proved that it could be done for most white collar work, and we canโ€™t let them try to squeeze that Pandora back into its box.
