Hear hear. Though I must say that I've only worked in an office for about three out of the last 20 years, so it'll be easy enough for me.

Which started happening some 15 years ago when outsourcing development to India started getting traction.

Speak for yourself. I’m in no way concerned about remote work depressing wages. Competition has always been global.

I work remotely for 10 full years now and this has always been specific to the employer and nothing else.

You're not going to have a say in the matter, and I think you're going to be surprised at how many companies consider WFH to have been an unavoidable aberration from a status quo they intend to return to as quickly as possible.

Workers not having a say regarding working conditions? Sounds like a recipe for poor morale and productivity.

Depends how desperate the workers are. But I've known two companies now that lost 50% of their IT staff when they tried to enforce going back to an office so I don't think anyone can generalize.
People who have little choice will do as their employer commands. The rest will move on.
*We* are not going back.
Not going back to long commutes. Open office plans and office politics.
Not going back to cheap lunch in a plastic/cardboard box that costs a lot.
Not going back to paying high rent in bad cities without any quality.
Not going back to frivolous meeting.
Now after almost 2 years we have proved that yes the company can be run remotely, several things that were "not possible" are and the ultimate thing:
We can choose where we want to live and with whom.
We are not going back as same we are not going back to cable anymore.
