"We know that companies frequently make exceptions to return-to-office mandates for employees to avoid losing them so that policy changes might affect new hires more than incumbent employees," Pollak said.
"If you already have a job and are grandfathered into this flexible work, you're maintaining it in many cases," Kantenga said. "Companies are using those new positions to roll that flexible work back a little bit, but they're not necessarily rolling it back for the workers who already have it."
Current remote workers face challenges in securing new work-from-home positions as companies implement stricter return-to-office policies for fresh hires, leading to increased commuting.
Over time, remote job listings have seen a significant decline, dropping from 10.2% in 2022 to just 8% in 2024, signaling a shift in the employment landscape.
