I spent the pandemic working all kinds of hours, and now management wants people back in the office. It does feel like my effort is not valued, but an ex colleague once said something really interesting: if you are sacrificing yourself to compensate for your company's shortcomings, they will never get fixed. So if something has to be deployed to production, it now has to be done during normal working hours. I'm not going to commute and still have to turn on the computer when I get home.

Why would you take your work laptop home if you're not allowed to work from home?
