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.

    50% say remote work has improved their productivity;

    True in my case. Huge boost. It impacted on the personal life though, even if there's limited opportunities to have a rich personal life during lockdowns.

    76% say their relationships with co-workers are stronger as a result of the shift to work-from-home during 2020;

    True, so much less banter during meetings. I reckon the couple of jokers in the team simply can't do standup comedy over Zoom - meeting are a lot more to the point now.

    75% have a new-found confidence in their role and position within a team;

    Not in my case, but I can see reasons for this to happen when the amount of BS goes lower and the amount of meaningful work increases.
