While the delta variant has postponed return to office plans for many companies, workers will return at some point to a changed workplace enviroment.

Not only when that will happen is unclear, but exactly how workers will return and what they will face is also still up in the air, a group of top economists recently told CNBC.

Tech companies, for example, had already started to allow more employees to take advantage of working from home pre-pandemic, said Gary Shilling, founder and president of A. Gary Shilling & Co. "It's good for employees; they're obviously making a choice and taking advantage of lower cost of living, cheaper housing, lower taxes and shorter commutes, so they're going to be happier," Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi said.

"The answer is probably Vero Beach wages, but that is going to be a trick. Businesses will figure it out and adjust, but it will take some time," he said.Before the pandemic, many workplaces were shifting towards open office floorplans and getting rid of cubicles and offices to boost collaboration and communication.

Google pushes its return to the office back to 2022Google has yet again postponed a full return to the office, announcing that its employees can continue to work remotely until next year. The decision follows similar ones already made by the company's tech industry peers like Facebook and Amazon. Who cares? Don't understand why companies won't consider permanently allowing remote work. They'd get more quality work because of the lack of unnecessary interruptions. Workers will be more alert and happy too because they don't have to spend 2+ hours/day just for the commute.
