Definitely a trade-off, as the costs previously mostly foisted off on employees were related to commuting to the office (time, car, parking, public transport, etc.)
The leading companies would take account of those costs. One would hope they would also adapt to take acct of home office costs
I'm seeing/expecting people will want to go in some, but not back to 5-days in the office. 2-3 days, when necessary to really do things together.
If this reduced office loading prevails, it'll also help everyone from workers to cities with the misery & costs of commuting (tho I did read that NPR has lost huge audience due to loss of commute-time listeners).
