What I hope will happen with this is that companies become a lot more flexible and encourage people who want to to regularly work a few days a week remotely.
For my employees, a lot of them do get more heads-down work done at home. It makes sense for them to work from home when they need intense focus. They also usually do better collaborative work in the office.
I also have employees who really like working remotely and others who really don't like working. I wouldn't want to force people who don't like working remotely to do so.
Some people at my work can walk to work, and coming into the office is an opportunity to interact with other driven people to build great stuff. We shoot the shit, get coffee together, and in general enjoy each other's company. For a lot of employees, coming into the office is something they enjoy.
