I can imagine this pandemic is going to push WFH into the vanguard... but to imply that companies no longer need offices seems too hyperbolic a conclusion.
The reality is that if a company says they don’t need an office because you can work from home, they need to compensate you for the use of your office space. A place of work is physical capital, and you can’t simply decide that your workers provide that capital as part of their employment.
