If some companiea can offer fulltime or hybrid WFH to have an advantage in getting employees, some others will.offer 4 day workweeks to be competitive with other companies. Canada can start the trend.
Government treats public servants like shit because it’s popular to do so. Nobody wants to believe their tax dollars are going toward somebody having a good job when they themselves don’t have a good job.
You’d be interested to know that was the sticking point on the recent Fed strike.
And they got it.
I know dozens of people working on unionized government work who were WFH 100% since CoViD day, and haven’t been back. Desks were sold/scrapped, leased released, space repurposed. Onsite are a handful of people, usually rotating assignments, for things like shipping/receiving, and the WFH language is baked into the latest contract there too.

I wish I were that hopeful but I dunno I don’t really see it starting. I’d love to be wrong though.
It would help if the governments did it… but I can’t see them being a leader on this one because of the optics.

Crabs in a bucket.
