Just 6 out of 158 U.S. CEOs said they'll prioritize bringing workers back to the office full-time in 2024, according to a new survey released by the Conference Board.

Why it matters: Executives are increasingly resigned to a world where employees don't come in every day, as hybrid work arrangements — mixing work from home and in-office — become the norm for knowledge workers.

Zoom in: "Maintain hybrid work," was cited as a priority by 27% of the U.S. CEOs who responded to the survey, conducted in October and November.

  • A separate survey of chief financial officers by Deloitte, conducted in November, found that 65% of CFOs expect their company to offer a hybrid arrangement this year.

State of play: "Remote work appears likely to be the most persistent economic legacy of the pandemic," write Goldman Sachs economists in a recent note.

  • About 20%-25% of workers in the U.S. work from home at least part of the week, according to data Goldman cites.
  • That's below a peak of 47% during the pandemic but well above its prior average of around 3%.

I haven't been to my desk in over two years. I heard they turned it into a shrine to my spiritual presence.

I'm not kidding.

Can we have photographs of said shrine? Always wanted me a nice shrine.

Don't have one to share. I've been remote so long that we've actually moved to a new unit since I was last in the door. I don't even know where my desk fucking is lmaoo
