34% of WFH (work from home) workers say they'd rather quit than return to full-time office work:

A new survey of WFH (work-from-home) employees suggests that many are not yet ready to return to the office. In fact, they may never be ready.

The survey found that 34% of WFH respondents say they would rather quit than return to a full-time office job.

The survey was published by staffing firm Robert Half. It involved more than 1,000 adult employees of US companies, all of whom are currently working from home due to the pandemic.

As mentioned above, more than 1 in 3 said they would look for a new job if they had to again work in the office full time.

    Slightly different take: Once you've had a chance to work from home, you know that it is possible, you may find you like it and that you are more productive without office gossip & politics. I think a lot of people will stay home and start their own small companies.

    Anyone see any recent stats on new sole proprietorships, LLC and INC filings in different parts of the USA (and/or the world)?

    I can't find any recent stats, but I suspect the numbers are way down. Sure, maybe office workers are more likely to strike out on their own, but overall the past year has been horrible for small businesses.

      All those restaurants that closed their doors? New ones will pop up, fueled by low cost of ac hiring cheap fixtures from bankrupts and landlords highly motivated to lower rents rather than have empty spaces.

      Great opportunity to start up a n a new location outside the city centres, which will be the last to recover.
