Am I the only one that think companies are skewing to far into the working from home? I get most companies have been able to make it work and continue to preform at similar levels as pre-covid. Seems like a lot of companies are jumping on board with the permanent remote work, but I worry about onboarding/ training the next generation of work force. I know for me I enjoy working from home, but I miss the ability to have a quick conversation with a more senior member of our team and pick their brain about an issue. personally I would like to go back to the office at least 3 days a week, but would have no problem going back full time. 

I also worry that companies taking away the office environment is the first step to outsourcing a lot of these jobs to cheaper labor overseas.
