"I want to be around for my kids," LaCroix, 44, said. "It's very important for me to be around for my son, because we almost lost him."
"People always want to have flexibility," said Mark Ma, a University of Pittsburgh associate professor of business administration. "I have never heard anyone telling me that I thank my job because it's so rigid in its schedule."
Mark Ma's research found that companies like Amazon and AT&T faced high turnover rates after implementing return-to-office mandates, especially among female employees and senior executives.
LaCroix felt privileged working from home while caring for his son, but after being laid off, he now faces the challenge of a long commute and less time with his family.
