So I truly feel for the IOL and CP employees. I would go back to working downtown in a hearbeat even if I was offered less money than I am currently making.
Never worked downtown, so I wouldn't know. But I don't mind my suburbban office. Is there really that much of a difference? Really, I come here to work in front of a computer, not look aimlessly out my window enjoying the city view.

And this is just a personal choice, but I like driving to work. I really don't like being dependent on Calgary public transit. No offense Calgary, but your public transit sucks ballsack.

So no, contrary to popular belief around here, not everyone prefers working downtown.
