I'm a bit torn. There are pros and cons for sure, at least when "the office" isn't just a cubicle you report to maybe with a neighbor you don't mind. The social aspects of the job (if there are any not on a phone/computer already) can be so much easier in person.

Though that's not a reason what so ever to force people back. That seems like a blatant attempt to keep the value of commercial realestate up.

The social aspect is pretty easily solved with audio and/or video calls.
