As the pandemic eases, I suspect we'll see a bigger return to the office than expected.

The biggest driver will be human nature. Political machinations that work in person for self gain do not necessarily work with WFH. I'm already hearing some FOMO as people that work in the office are promoted over people working remotely.

I've hired, developed and promoted roughly 300 people in my career (including those who left for a better job at other orgs). I don't mind WFH co-workers, or the extra work that they make for me when it comes to managing them. I can not, however, help them develop their talents as fast as those I can interact with physically. Therefore, I can not promote them as quickly, or perhaps at all. I suspect I'm not alone.

What extra work are you referring to? The need to setup video calls?
