From a socio-economical and ecological point of view, the insistence on pushing people back to the office while employers CBA to build/hire offices away from busy city centers is absolutely blasphemous. This goes way beyond just less cars on the road (imagine what less need for a car does once extrapolated all the way to parking spaces, asphalt, manufactory, etc.) Ironically, many of these companies would still claim they care about the environment in the same breath.
I don't necessarily feel the need to be militantly against in-office, but outside the elite bubble of fat TCs, loads of places expect juniors-mediors to just deal with it while giving them a pittance for what is otherwise a pretty difficult white collar job, to either settle in the city and make next to no savings / hope to further their life goals or live outside the city and erode one's sanity by dropping their QoL through commutes. Of course there's going to be some rebellion when the in-office crowd brings out BS arguments like "because it fits our culture better" which equates to "because we say so" with such a large benefit on the line.
