Rumors are that some companies (mostly west coast) are returning to Work From Home due to the dramatic increase in gas prices. Any local confirmation of that?

@q3 If he were this would probably be a 100b company. And i’m a Dr G fan.
This guy really doesn't like people WFH. Thank God, Dr G is not like him.

USAToday points to a poll showing that high gas prices have caused 12% of people to work from home more.
That doesn't mean employers are offering more flexibility. But employees can ask for it.
On the West Coast, gas is over $6 per gallon. We may see local changes if the price stays above $4 for an extended period.

I cannot confirm that west coast companies are going back to WFH due to gas prices.
That would seem silly to yo yo your policy based on gas prices. Covid sure.
