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.

    That's the obvious scam? I thought it would be what this guy [npr.org] pulled off.

    How's that a scam? He was just doing what his bosses do except maybe better:

    And it turns out that the job done in China was above par — the employee's "code was clean, well written, and submitted in a timely fashion. Quarter after quarter, his performance review noted him as the best developer in the building," according to the Verizon Security Blog.

    And as they learned, his schedule also included sending less than one-fifth of his salary to the Chinese firm.

    "All told, it looked like he earned several hundred thousand dollars a year, and only had to pay the Chinese consulting firm about fifty grand annually,"

    I suspect the employees of the Chinese consulting firm weren't being paid 50 grand annually...

    Lots of US WFH workers can be replaced with cheaper and better workers from other countries.

    If companies have difficulty figuring out who to hire maybe they can hire that US "scam" worker to identify good workers or outsourcing firms, seems like he's good at it ;).
