My company is just doing the big return to work push now, the turnover that they're gonna get hit with is hilarious. They have no idea how mad everyone is about it.
Here in Norway there was a marked shift to acceptance for more home office post-Corona. We did have stricter and longer restrictions than you guys though, and basically things didn't go back to normal until winter 2022. At my work I'd say 80% do home office at least 1 day per week, and 30% do home office 4/5 days in the week (we have one mandatory office day per week). I'd also say that a few percent have taken that opportunity to do "quiet quitting" and essentially do nothing (joining meetings from the car in the middle of the day on their way to IKEA and stuff like that, never engaging in or starting initiatives by themselves etc.), but that's on management for not getting rid of them.
Personally I still go 5/5 days by own choice, because I live right next by, prefer the ritual of switching into job/focus mode that it is to walk to the office, and like sitting in a separate place that has no distractions (compared to home, where I would take 5 minutes to do the dishes, take an extended trip to the grocery at lunch, etc) and that my brain only associates with working.
Lol for real, can't wait til I find a new WFH job. The brain drain that my "return to the office" job has on the way is going to be monumental. EVERYONE that doesn't have a direct report in my department is looking for a new job.
But fuck it, let's all just return to the office anyways. Amirite? SMH
Well yeah. If we don't the landowners will lose money on all their ugly and useless office buildings and that would be sooo awful :(
I wonder how much of the wave is due to return to office
How many people haven't returned? My company, and nearly everyone I know has been back for 2 years.

Just in time with school starting back up too for kids. A lot have already gone back, hence where I think the spike patterns originate.
