I don't think the return to office trend will abate until the economy returns to growth mode.
We are in a tightening economy where stock prices are jumping double digit percentages from layoff announcements.
Everyone seems to recognize that forcing employees to return to office will result in attrition (aka soft-layoff).
Perhaps when growth becomes the focus again, companies will switch back to work from home. The public line of reasoning will be something dumb like "eliminating office costs" or "reducing emissions associated with commute".
