I predict over the next decade a lot of people are going to start flipping the script on these employers. Now that this genie is out of the bottle, it's going to be pretty hard to cork it again. Maybe for a bit, but it'll soon boil over. I mean some of this RTO is really just poorly disguised layoffs that the PR department doesn't want getting out. Or it's about control at the micro level. That's going to get figured out pretty fast.

Either way, smarter companies are going to use balanced WFH as a recruitment tactic (that could literally save them money), and I also predict the numbers are soon going to reflect that the next couple of years aren't as profitable for these guys that are dictating five days a week in the office, and their people are going to be far less satisfied. Might get away with it for a bit if the economy slows down, I dunno, it'll be interesting to see how this all plays out.
