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.

I think I'm in the camp that doesn't want to go back, but at the same time I might not have much of a choice. I used to work a lot more home but had to be at the office mostly for meetings and such. So in that regard perhaps it has not changed that much. But I would want to be there even less. But it's sort of up to the employer if they are down with it. So far they are. That said it not only a blessing but instead also a bit of a curse. If I (or you or anyone) doesn't have to be at the office anymore the pool of potential employers grows rapidly -- which could be both great and bad. I could work somewhere else but also someone else could take my job if they are not tied to my geographical area. So it could be bad, or good. Don't know just yet.
As far as the Zoom/Teams/whatever meetings I think I hate them even more then before. It's just such a crap substitute for actual physical real meetings. The only one that should be happy about them are the budget people that can note how much money they save by not sending people around. Phone meetings was somewhat annoying before, now it has even more technology that can go wrong and seeing a picture sometimes doesn't really add that much to the whole experience.
