Working from home will stick FOR SOME... but not for others.

I have a long commute and don't miss it... i do miss the books/podcasts and I miss the office. I hope we go to a 3 day home, 2 day office but we'll see.

Managers like having butts in seats. we'll see how it goes long term

So true. The big (top 5) global bank I worked for loved butts-in-seats. I've finally arrived at a place where I refuse anything that requires more than 3 days in-office.

I work at a bank and they had remote tools in place that were very flexible... but it was still "be in the office" 5 days a week. The pay and perks are too good to pass up and I didn't have "remote experience" before - which I have a year of now.

I'm still enjoying the job so we'll see how things go over the next, say, year.
