Can we ever go back?

I have a feeling that tech companies in the most expensive parts of the Bay Area are going to have trouble getting some people to come back to the office rather than move somewhere a bit cheaper and continue to work remotely.

I think some of those people are going to have a hard time getting a Bay Area salary when they are living outside the Bay Area.

We’ll see what happens when the companies say “okay, time to come back to the office” and a lot of their employees say “you know what, how about let’s not?” Maybe some companies will fire all those people or attempt to cut their pay. Maybe some companies will decide to save hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on their downtown SF office.
