And yet even now, I think, many workers and their managers are still struggling to understand exactly what this shift in the our working lives really means.
What's become increasingly clear is the idea of everyone working from an office all day every day is no longer the automatic assumption it once was. According to one piece of research, nearly half of office workers are now working either fully remote or in some kind of hybrid work arrangement. And they seem to like it (and are getting more sleep as a result).
Managers find themselves in the slightly odd position of having to persuade their workers to come back to the office. Even weirder, bosses are finding themselves asking people to come back into the office even if that makes them a bit less productive, not more.
Workers don't all want to stay at home because they can't be bothered to commute.
Plenty want to stay at home because many of them are more productive that way (although they probably do also hate the commute, too).

Remote work has changed everything. And it's still getting weirder
From quiet quitting and quiet firing to overemployment, the working day is getting stranger and stranger.
