I wonder if there is a correlation between middle managers that like to micromanage and return to work.

  Probably not, since middle managers don't make company-wide policies. Those kinds of decisions are made at the executive leadership level (CEO and CEO's direct reports). I think that the push to return to the office is more likely related to the huge amount of money that companies have invested in office space, as noted in the article: > "Before Covid struck, the biggest technology firms committed billions of dollars to erect offices that are marvels of architecture and trophies of financial success. Those gleaming offices, packed with amenities and perks, are a testament to the long-held belief that in-person collaboration is still better for fostering creativity, inspiring innovation and instilling a common sense of purpose." Some companies, like Facebook, are still expanding their office space. Another article, from yesterday, says: > Facebook is adding more offices in Manhattan. The Menlo Park, California-based company, now known formally as Meta Platforms Inc., is planning to take roughly 300,000 square feet (28,000 square meters) at 770 Broadway, a property near Astor Place where it already has space, according to people familiar with the matter. With the new lease, Facebook will have nearly the entire building.[1] [1] https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-12/facebook-adding-manhattan-office-space-in-latest-nyc-expansion https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-12/facebook-...
