Do you think companies are going to embrace wfh or what?

I was reading some comments on LinkedIn about wfh jobs since I am looking for remote work and this comment made sense. Curious if anyone who wfh now is being forced to come into the office or are worried they might get one...

There is a large effort in the EU about this atm actually. Idk if US based companies believe their teams are productive wfh. I think they hate the idea of paying ppl for skills versus their time. Sit in the office for 8 hours and work virtually anyway? Makes no sense right🤔

Large companies are pressured by mayors / governors/ premiers to bring back office culture so that city downtown property values remain afloat....Best bets are the startups and mid sized companies will continue to provide WFH

I used to work at JP Morgan and they forced people to go to the office because they either bought/rented a lot of space so they wanted to make good use of it. I left that position for a remote one. Never looking back.

In general, it depends on the industry. However, I don't think it will be dominant. It is hard to do collaborative and creative work without some in person interaction.The way a business mankes money also has a lot of impact on whether or not they are pro work for home. For example, data science and quant analytics in leading financial services firms is unlikely to ever be 100 percent remote. Much of finance is deal making and client facing. This means upper management of finance is unlikely to ever be fully remote. An ad revenue based software company is likely to be different. However, I think most companies will allow for greater flexibility.
