WARNING: ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE

I manage a team of 12 people at a FAANG. One team member just quit working entirely until offices open again. Any information about offices opening is immediately pounced on and celebrated. While most folks have stated that they enjoy working from home, a few others hate it. Interestingly, zero people are interested in being fully remote, even though our org has a stated goal to get more people to go remote.

That said, EVERYONE is excited at the formalization of a hybrid policy that allows up to a 50/50 split between home and work. That policy also leaves it up to individual teams to decide what, if any, restrictions they want to place on that.

I'm sure it's very different in other teams and companies, which is why I prefaced with the warning.

My experience with my teammates is the same.

I’m the sole member of my team that moved out of the Bay Area during the pandemic. I can’t imagine moving back, but my teammates (all 10-15 years younger) can’t wait to get back in the office.

Same context, same anecdote here.
