I agree with you about remote reverting to a large extent.
I have been working 90% remote for a while, but most of my co-workers have not and it is driving them crazy after only a few days.
We know that a large subset of companies would prefer to have visibility and control.
I still think that even if only 5% of the tech employees forced to work remotely for the first time these next couple months get a taste for it, it will change the landscape of remote work in a noticeable way.
Even if just a few decent sized employers see and acknowledge good productivity in these next couple months and the talent pushes the issue, it could end up with a lot of 300k positions in california being replaced by 130k remote positions basically anywhere else.
After being forced to do it for a while, it's hard to imagine this not happening to some extent, especially in areas that aren't especially strongly affected by stock market news bites.
