Until some businesses found out the hard way that if a few critical people are sick for weeks, maybe months or even die, a department stops running and without that department the entire company shuts down. That's when companies changed their minds with remote work and measures.

Restaurants around here are mostly closed during the holidays because they can't find enough people. Lots of their workers were laid off and found work with better pay and/or hours and didn't come back. The whole sector is now permanently understaffed.

They found out, sure, but did they remember and permanently adjust their priorities and behavior to something more long term sustainable in response? Nope!
