Yes, many CEOs want all workers to come back into the office. Yes, may office property owners and operators, worried about what working from home would eventually mean for rent roles, want it as well.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York says that while there may be more people back in headquarters, remote work isn't going away. But then, neither has the amount of workspace used, at least in New York.

"As has been found by others, we find that some of the increase in remote work that began early in the pandemic is sticking," the organization wrote. "According to firms responding to our August regional business surveys, about 20 percent of all service work and 7 percent of manufacturing work is now being conducted remotely, well above shares before the pandemic, and firms expect little change in these shares a year from now. While responses were mixed, slightly more firms indicated that remote working had reduced rather than increased productivity. Interestingly, however, the rise in remote work has not led to widespread reductions in the amount of workspace being utilized by businesses in the region."
