There have been so many similar articles over the last three months. And every time I see one, I'm reminded of how resistant to change the company (and industry) I'm in is.
The company I work for is starting to bring people back to the office department by department. People are resisting, and the company is telling them not to let the door hit them in their asses on the way out. Officially, it's because there is no "policy" for long-term work-from-home. But it's just stubbornness that comes from its habit of moving at the speed of a glacier.
I've heard that some departments have lost 20% of their people so far. I know for a fact that one department I work closely with has lost 40%. My observation is that the better the employee, the more likely he is to refuse to come back to the office.
