Employees are quitting instead of giving up working from home

I agree. But the "battle" is at least partly around:

- People who are technically allowed to WFH but who are concerned that co-workers/managers will pressure them to come in anyway and

- People who want to come back into an office most days but don't want to come into a ghost town with most meetings over video anyway.

I think this battle is lost. Even if people go back to offices, a lot of meetings will happen over video anyway. This has been the norm in some large companies already.

It's been considered best practice (at least according to the people I follow on twitter) that if 1 person is dialed in, the whole meeting is dialed in. The 5 people at a table and some other people on Webex or whatever just doesn't work.

Yeah, I work with teams that have that as a rule. Pretty clearly it's a best practice in most contexts. (There are some exceptions like a scheduled on-site that someone can't travel to but for most things.) My guess is that a lot of people have noticed that video calls have been working better during the pandemic because of this.
