Work From Home for White Collar is basically permanent now

26. I do worry about this

The pandemic's economic effects weren't felt by all, in fact for many office workers they saw economic benefits because they were working from home. I've put like 3000 total miles on my car in 2 years, that's a lot of money in gas and wear and tear saved. Meals and clothing expenses went down. I mean I saved a few grand a year in car expenses alone.

All while others were laid off with no hope of working from home. Or others who were forced to work in dangerous situations because of the pandemic.

But what I am also hoping is that with WFH here to stay, young people will begin to gravitate towards careers where WFH is going to be an option, we still have an insane shortage of engineers and tech workers in this country.
