There’s a lot of 50-100 person offices used by 5-10 people a day right now because the friendly nudges and incentives to bring people back to the office are falling flat.

If there's only 5-10 people a day, they should be getting nice offices rather than the typical open plan. That might actually entice others to come in.

In lots of tv shows the high-social-value characters have very nice offices (ie, it has a door and a couch). I'd go in-person for one of those.

Hahaha, no way that is happening. Open plan stays, and people are actually coming to the office and attending most meetings on Zoom sitting at their desk.

I am no fan of that. If I come to the office I want to see real people.

The incentives are mostly bad ones.

Companies that understand remote work have done a really good job of netting talent that is not in the Bay or New York, and I'm very happy to be working for one.
