Return-to-Office Sentiment Survey

Before changing the office policy: real commute costs, focus trade-offs, and red lines.

4 questions · 1 page · about 2 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start

Office policy changes are announced in all-hands and absorbed in resignation letters. This survey runs before the decision: what each working pattern costs people in commute and life logistics, where they genuinely work best by task type, what would make office days worth the trip, and the red-line question leadership needs answered honestly – what policy would make them start looking.

Anonymous by necessity. The would-start-looking distribution converts policy debate from opinion to risk assessment.
