For the record - I was the first person to raise my voice in 2020 and tell management people with elderly and immunocompromised family members or themselves with issues are going to need to work at home for some time. I was the first to call that schools were going to have to close for a short time (not a freaking year and a half, good God, California). I care deeply about people. That being said, a bunch of Apple and Googlers who get freaking bused to work for free, with wifi, complaining that they now need to work from home permanently instead of the beautiful campuses they built look like "snowflakes", yes. Not everyone. Flexibility is important. My own team has flexibility to make decisions which best help them, however there is none-the-less a reasonable expectation to come into the office once or twice a week. It helps with collaboration, and they're freaking 20 miles away at most. The critical part of the pandemic is done, I can't believe that's the excuse. It's more convenience at this point. I'm not saying that out of a heavy hand, but that's the reality as I see it. Face-to-face working is a privilege. Why are people treating it like it's a punishment?
