It's so weird. 5 years ago there were endless stories from all the big companies that said they got big productivity gains with work from home.
But they realised that all these massively expensive office buildings are mostly empty now.
Can't let all that "valuable" real estate loose value and cause an economic crisis because commercial real estate plummeted in value. No sir! Money and human suffering must go up!
As far as I'm aware, they often use these return-to-office mandates to piss workers off, so that those quit on their own, without severance pay or legal troubles (in countries with worker protections).
