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.

    In my case, all the company's staff was retained, 95% of us are WFH except the sys and net adm who sporadically need to get psychical. All the ergonomic chairs and extra "productivity" gadgets were sent by courier at the "home office" approx July last year and the company pays the power and internet cost.
    Since July last year, the team grew by at least 20%, over all 4 timezones, all hired in a WFH arrangement.
    We may get to set foot in the office, if we exercise this option, somewhere in Sept this year. For the foreseeable future, most of us will probably choose to work at most 2 days/w from the office. I think the company will start to cut from the office floor costs first before cutting from the work force once the pandemic is over.

    Take some guesses about the industry.
