CEOs simply prefer working in an office with all their underlings around.

If CEOs want people to work at the office, they'd be working at the office. Articles trying to polarize people by categorizing us into "elites want x, everyone else wants y" just make people angry for no reason.

Lots and lots of CEOs are really happy to have people working from home. That's why working from home is still a popular thing. There are also CEOs who think working from home hurts productivity or culture. They can order everyone back to the office whenever they want and short of wide-scale quitting, which rarely happens, they'll get what they want.

Sure. I should've added that nuance to my argument that it only applies to the companies that are forcing people back.

Many CEOs out there have embraced WFH regardless of their personal preference.
