There were a lot of WFH jobs that existed far before COVID. Another CEO can easily make the decision to keep WFH open as an option / perk, and hey guess what, top talent goes there instead. I know people who have been working remotely since the early 2000s - it won't die.
That is a big "if". Remote work is a big money saving move for new companies and a huge opportunity to hire very good talent.
I think many of these CEOs and managers calling back to office have an old mentality and are refusing a change that will happen anyway. It happens with every generation, it will happen with this one.
