Yeah, my post reads like I don't see the WFH situation as a win/win. But I do; the company cuts costs, but the employee gets/makes more to offset their increased costs.

Shit, I took a $10k pay cut to work for a company that was a 15-minute commute away, rather than one that was an hour away. And I don't regret that decision AT ALL.

I also suspect that this could be either the beginning of a revival for WeWork, or that coworking spaces (like Office Nomads ) will finally reach their full potential.... because people will quickly need to draw a line in their lives defining their work/life balance, and the easiest way to do that is get a membership at a local coworking space. Gets you out of the house, gives you the infrastructure of printing/shipping/mail/conference rooms, and can literally be anywhere you can fit a few desks. I worked in one that was a converted barn, once, and had a membership at Office Nomads for 5 years during my entrepreneurial days.
