I’ll be curious to see who wins - the tech workers who’ve shown they can work from anywhere, versus the middle managers who are going to try clawing all those people back into the office.
A good function for middle management is "splatter shield". Yes, the tech workers showed they can do their job anywhere. But can they do it when they have to report to 5 different mutually contradictory bosses, as opposed to having one boss whose job is to deflect all the questions and posturing from higher up so that their team actually gets to have hours at a stretch to work without interruptions?

Good middle management is really, really hard to find.
