I donโt have the kind of job that can be done remotely, but Iโm all for remote work where itโs possible and desired. My best friend hated working from home at the height of covid because heโs an extrovert who canโt really afford to go out much. Now he works from home Mondays and Fridays and I think itโs 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 theyโre 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 Iโm not alone there, and I think thereโs no reason to hold that option hostage. Covid proved that it could be done for most white collar work, and we canโt let them try to squeeze that Pandora back into its box.
