Workers who want to quit overwhelmingly say they're looking for a new job with more flexibility. Indeed, even among those who aren't considering changing jobs, half of people currently working remotely say if their current company doesn't continue to offer remote-work options long-term, they'll look for a job at a company that does.
You know all the people saying everyone wants to go back to the workplace? Apparently workers absolutely don't
The insidious bit about this is that they know it's less effective. I did work psych, there are decade old research papers that reveal that open offices wipe up like 15%-25% of work efficiency. I'm in the dev team (we get put with sales and support in the same room before the pandemic) and we all went "I can't concentrate due to all this noise" so we got noise cancelling headphones. The company did a survey a couple of months ago asking if we think our efficiency has changed, it averaged out to "slightly increased" which was noticed in all the task planning bollocks and the such. Which is personally shocking cause you know most people (including me!) are like jerking off all day and working for 3-4 hours, but we get to deliver as much as before.
The benefit to the company is that we get to work in a huge panopticon, they get to think that collaboration is more likely (this has been proven to not be the case, but they feel like it is, so who cares) and then the managers / owners get to feel like they're running a real company by working in fucking boiler rooms with everyone inside.
