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.

But if the employers are smart, they won't press the issue at this time. There are plenty of others applying for jobs, many of them were deadwood that got cut loose at the first good excuse (tough economic times, there's a pandemic you know). If the employee wanting to keep working from home was deadwood, they would have already been dumped. So if they decide to leave, there's a better than 50% chance the replacement hire will be deadwood on arrival.
It's also worth considering for employers that if the employees dutifully return to the office, they may well do so with one foot out the door. They'll either find a work from home job elsewhere or become deadwood over the next couple years.
If employers were any good at management, they'd throw a party if the union went on a rulebook strike.

Plenty of unemployed people were not deadwood. Labor is most certainly not a seller's market at the moment.

Sure, about half are not deadwood. Thus the 50% chance.
As the economy bounces back, it's going to get harder to find good hires. A bad time to have a bunch of employees with one foot out the door.
