I'll be distressed if we don't have at least optional work-from-office after the pandemic. I'm vaccinated. You're vaccinated. We're all adults. The company remains in possession of empty office space. Yet most firms seem to think the best thing to do is lead from behind, wait and see, until they can protect themselves by saying "i guess everyone is doing it".

WFH isn’t just a preference thing, having the option is about being treated with dignity like an adult. We are uniquely privileged to be in an industry where leaving for better jobs is common and rather doable.

(including publicly tradeable equity), and now I rent a private office in a coworking space with some of the extra cash. This was a victory. A consequence of this is a price tag on how much anger I have, and it's fairly small. More peaceful for me this way.
