Hypothesis: WFH vs. in-office is going to become one of those things that new CEOs like to change whenever they get installed. In office now? Well we need to attract good people wherever they live. Remote working now? Well in-office fosters collaboration/creativity & repeat

guess there is a lot of truth to this statement. hopefully, enough people (not only, but especially decision makers) realize that before they back the wrong horse due to false hopes for an easy fix for their problems
