    I doubt it’s just a singular reason they are forcing return to office.

    It’s likely property value, micro managing , reducing head count and so on all play a role in jt

      And outdated perceived value of presence - that in-office behavior can be more strictly monitored and controlled, that it leads to increased productivity, and that the social aspect leads to more company commitment.

      Aside from direct visibility of behavior, none of these are true. Productivity generally increases without the commute, with the ability to make a lunch in your own homes, etc, due to the reduction in stress. Studies have shown it to be a win-win, but outdated management styles that still dominate at the top end of management doesn’t believe or doesn’t care.

        I am not saying they are whole valid reasons. I am just giving examples of some of the reasons they might want people back in.

        I love remote work and hope I can stay in it
