No survey asks workers directly whether they regret going remote or staying in
the office, so the cleanest available signal is what people say they would
choose if they could. The Pew Research Center’s January 2025 report is lopsided
on the office side: 63% of workers who rarely or never work from home say
that, given the choice, they would prefer to work from home most or some of the
time; within that same office group, 19% would choose to work from home all the
time and only 17% would opt to keep rarely or never working remotely. Pew,
however, publishes no matching “would prefer the office” figure for people who
already work remotely, so the two sides cannot be compared like-for-like. What
Pew does show about remote workers is attachment: 46% of current remote
workers say they would be unlikely to stay at their job if their employer
eliminated work-from-home, and a smaller 36% say they would be likely to
stay — the closest thing to a low-regret ceiling on the remote side. The
pattern is consistent with Gilovich and Medvec’s long-term inaction-dominance
finding — sticking with the office when a flexible alternative exists leaves
more people wishing they had chosen otherwise — but the magnitudes on the two
sides come from different questions and should be read as directional.
A separate satisfaction survey points the same direction without being a regret
measure. The Global Work-Life Survey by Remote, the Future Workforce Alliance,
and IE Business School found 65% of remote workers “extremely satisfied”
with their jobs versus just 34% of office-based employees. That is a
satisfaction gap, not a regret rate: an earlier version of this entry inverted
those top-box scores (treating everyone not “extremely satisfied” as
regretful), which counted merely “very satisfied” workers as dissatisfied and
inflated both numbers. Those inverted figures (35% and 66%) have been dropped.
The main caveat is measurement. “Would prefer the other arrangement” still is
not lived regret — someone content in the office who would mildly prefer
flexibility counts in the 63%, so the proxy can overstate true regret. The
direction is robust across independent surveys; the absolute magnitudes should
be read as upper bounds. The often-quoted Envoy figure that “80% of bosses
regret return-to-office plans” is excluded here as a worker-level rate: it
measures executives’ process regret about how their company handled RTO, a
different population and a different construct. The Pew sample is US adults;
remote-work norms vary across countries.

[1]Pew Research Center — Many remote workers say they'd be likely to leave their job if they could no longer work from home
Studi primer
46% of current remote workers would be unlikely to stay if remote work were eliminated; a smaller 36% say they'd be likely to stay
Kutipan
“"46% say that if their employer no longer allowed them to work from home, they would be unlikely to stay at their current job. This includes 26% who say they'd be very unlikely to stay. A smaller share (36%) say they'd be likely to stay at their job, with 20% saying they'd be very likely to do so."

Perhitungan
Pew Research Center analysis based primarily on 2,315 US working adults, from a larger survey conducted Oct 7-13, 2024. No survey asks remote workers directly whether they regret going remote, and Pew reports NO figure for current remote workers who would prefer the office. (An earlier version of this entry displayed Pew's "17% would opt for rarely or never working from home" as a remote-worker office-preference — but that 17% is drawn from the OFFICE subgroup, workers who rarely/never work from home, so it measured office-worker contentment, not remote-worker regret; it has been removed.) The only correctly-populated remote-side signal Pew provides is the retention question: 46% of current remote workers would be unlikely to stay if WFH ended (strong attachment / low regret), while a smaller 36% say they'd be likely to stay — i.e. would tolerate losing remote work. We use that 36% "likely to stay even if WFH ended" share as a deliberately generous UPPER BOUND on weak attachment to remote (proxy_only). It overstates true regret — someone content remote who would still stay if forced back counts in it — so read it as a ceiling, not a regret rate. We do not derive any figure from a satisfaction score.
[2]Remote / Future Workforce Alliance / IE Business School — Remote workers are happier and healthier than in-office counterparts, survey finds
Studi primer
65% of remote workers reported being 'extremely satisfied' with their jobs, vs 34% of office-based employees (satisfaction, not regret)
Kutipan
“"65% of remote workers said they were 'extremely satisfied' with their jobs, compared to just 34% of office-based employees. 42% of remote workers rated themselves as '8' or above on a happiness scale out of 10, compared to just 21% of office workers."

Remote / Future Workforce Alliance / IE Business School Global Work-Life Survey of 1,000 workers across five continents. Included only as satisfaction context — remote workers report markedly higher job satisfaction than office workers. We do NOT invert the "extremely satisfied" share into a regret rate; non-top-box satisfaction is not regret. The headline action rate comes from the Pew retention proxy above.

Perhitungan
Pew Research Center analysis based primarily on 2,315 US working adults, from a larger survey conducted Oct 7-13, 2024. No survey asks office workers directly whether they regret not going remote, so we use the revealed-preference proxy Pew states verbatim: among workers who rarely or never work from home, 63% would prefer to work from home most or some of the time if they could choose, 19% would choose to work from home all the time, and only 17% would opt to keep working rarely or never from home. This is a "would reverse the choice" preference measure within the office subgroup, not a satisfaction inversion.

Perhitungan
Same Global Work-Life Survey. Office workers report much lower job satisfaction than remote workers (34% vs 65% extremely satisfied). Included only as satisfaction context. We do NOT invert the 34% top-box share into a 66% regret rate — non-top-box satisfaction is not regret. The headline inaction rate comes from the Pew preference proxy above. (The widely cited Envoy figure that "80% of bosses regret return-to-office plans" measures EXECUTIVES' process regret about their company's RTO strategy, not individual office workers regretting in-person work, so it is not used as the worker-level rate here.)
Catatan
Tidak ada tingkat yang merupakan ukuran penyesalan langsung, dan kedua sisi bersandar pada proksi yang BERBEDA. Tidak ada survei terpublikasi yang menanyakan "apakah Anda menyesal memilih kerja jarak jauh?" atau "apakah Anda menyesal tidak beralih ke jarak jauh?". Untuk sisi kantor (kelambanan), laporan Pew Januari 2025 memberikan proksi preferensi yang bersih dan populasinya tepat: 63% pekerja yang jarang atau tidak pernah bekerja dari rumah, jika diberi pilihan bebas, akan lebih memilih bekerja dari rumah sebagian besar atau sebagian waktu. Untuk sisi jarak jauh (tindakan), Pew TIDAK melaporkan angka "lebih memilih kantor" yang setara untuk pekerja jarak jauh saat ini; "17% yang memilih jarang atau tidak pernah bekerja dari rumah" berasal dari subkelompok KANTOR, bukan pekerja jarak jauh, sehingga tidak mengukur penyesalan kerja jarak jauh dan tidak dipakai di sini. Satu-satunya sinyal sisi jarak jauh yang populasinya tepat adalah pertanyaan retensi: 46% pekerja jarak jauh saat ini kemungkinan kecil akan bertahan jika kerja dari rumah dihapus (keterikatan kuat / penyesalan rendah), sementara 36% yang lebih kecil kemungkinan akan bertahan. Kami melaporkan 36% itu sebagai batas atas yang sengaja longgar atas lemahnya keterikatan pada kerja jarak jauh, bukan sebagai tingkat penyesalan; ia melebih-lebihkan penyesalan sebenarnya karena seseorang yang puas bekerja jarak jauh yang masih akan menoleransi kembali ke kantor pun ikut terhitung di dalamnya. Karena proksi sisi tindakan adalah plafon dan bukan ukuran preferensi yang setara, selisih −0,27 antara kedua sisi harus dibaca sebagai arah, bukan angka presisi. Versi entri ini sebelumnya membalik persentase survei "sangat puas" menjadi tingkat penyesalan (35% dan 66%); itu mengaburkan kepuasan ringan dengan penyesalan dan telah dihapus. Survei kepuasan Remote/IE Business School dipertahankan hanya sebagai konteks (pekerja jarak jauh melaporkan kepuasan lebih tinggi daripada pekerja kantor) dan dilakukan oleh perusahaan dengan kepentingan komersial dalam adopsi kerja jarak jauh, menimbulkan potensi bias pembingkaian dan pengambilan sampel. Angka Envoy yang sering dikutip "80% atasan menyesali rencana kembali-ke-kantor" mengukur penyesalan proses eksekutif atas strategi RTO perusahaan mereka — populasi dan konstruk yang berbeda — sehingga tidak dipakai sebagai tingkat penyesalan kantor tingkat-pekerja. Data Pew adalah orang dewasa AS; norma kerja jarak jauh lintas negara berbeda.
