A lot of companies are doing this. Mine is. They are downsizing more offices faster than planned and are thinking about reworking their telework policy because our SLOs are so high after working from home. They stopped letting people work from home because they were building these large central offices with 99 year leases but after only 3 years decided to sublet one of our buildings to a different company.

Oddly enough, I have heard the one thing that has kept most office workers at home: Open floor plans. The CDC drafted a plan to go back to the office back in June and one of the biggest regulations was that the office had to have full cube walls between desks and people had to be seated at least 6 feet apart. Look at any modern office and that is pretty much impossible, so they have been forced to keep everyone home until they either change the entire layout of their office space, or until those regulations are lifted (which isn't going to happen any time soon). And with how productive WFH has been shown to be why would they spend the money to re-organize their office?
