This is going to be one of the problems. Some people who desperately want to come back to the office do so and discover that most of their co-workers haven't. And some of those co-workers have, with management blessing, moved outside the easy "drop in for one day a week" radius.

I expect office/remote workstyles are going to be popular questions in interviews over at least the next few years.

Maybe WeWork will make a comeback. People that need to have others around or need a commute so they can listen to pod casts can go to a shared workspace.

There are two separate things.

One is people who want to be in-person with their team all day.

People who want clear work-life separation (and who may not have space like a dedicated office at home).

Co-working spaces can solve for the latter but not the former.
