Once Gen Z grows up and lets go of TikTok, this will swing back to an equilibrium. Most people I talk to (a variety of ages and backgrounds) like having separation of home & work.
Not saying it's going to be back to the traditional 9-5 cubicle style, but hybrid is here to stay.
For me personally I love having the *option* to go into my office, but not having the unwritten "you're expected to be here" attitude. You lose something by never ever being in the same room, and good luck team building over Zoom!
Besides, as I tell everyone, be careful what you wish for. If you're 100% remote and you never ever have to see anyone in person, you better provide something unique of significant value, or you're the first one on the chopping block. No need to pay your Austin tech salary when that job can likely be done by someone else for much cheaper.
For business in general, we all know it is and will always be done face to face.
It's why tech companies continue to pay Silicon Valley prices, NYC prices, Chicago prices, etc.
You need to be "in the room" with people, or down the street.
