The return-to-office wars are over (www.axios.com)

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%.

laughs in factory worker

Stilll helps factory workers have better commutes. Everyone who wants to work from home should be able to, because it helps the people who want to go in or have to.

I hope, as commuting becomes mostly a thing only for people who can't work from home, the people who do work from home start moving out of the housing near those jobs so people who have to be on the floor can move in.

Just imagine, small town America might be saved!

sobs in retail worker

Yeah I like to bring up when talking about WFH, there should be a pay bump for required on-site workers. If that means physical laboring jobs get a yearly % increase or whatever that I don't get, no skin off my back, and then it's harder to pit worker against worker

It is inherently unfair, but not all work can be done remotely.

Just take the work home. Lazy people I swear. /s
