I had to go into the office for the Fortune 500 company I work for; talked to the security guard and was told that every Monday they are handed a stack of security badges to process and remove from the system--people inform their managers they are leaving on Friday and hand in their badge. The commute time, the price of gas, and the nature of the work in this building (tech work for customers who are themselves remote, with everything handled by a ticket system) are no doubt all factors. It is seen as a power ploy by management, I think, to have "butts in seats" again.
