Or, if you prefer, pre-pandemic they didn't know how happy and productive they would be not having to go into the office five days a week, and post-pandemic, they do know. Strikes me as an internal matter, frankly, I don't have a dog in this fight.

I decided years before the pandemic that I didn't want to go into the office anymore, and plan to stick with it for as long as I can.
