Of course, and they may even succeed in the short term. In the long term, this is a lost cause and basic market forces will force the issue:

  1. Huge savings on overhead

  2. Competitive advantage when it comes to attracting talent

You can't put the genie back in the bottle and the number 1 hurdle to business adopting major changes like this was blown to bits by covid. The, "this is the way we've always done it", excuse.

  1. Good talent
  2. Normal "market" wages (not overpaying)
  3. On-site workers

Pick 2.

I'd argue 1/3 are harder than ever before, you're basically banking on grabbing the selection of good engineers that like being in the office and that does seem to be a minority of engineers as a whole. That isn't to say there aren't some, the best engineer I've ever met loves going into the office BUT in my experience it is the minority for sure.
