The issue is that data is the opposite or wfh and in the office are on par in terms of productivity. Of course they'll use every trick in the book to get people into the office - even economy cooling and will try to work on your feelings like 'let's support the economy by having buzzing city centres'. Then 'culture', 'energy' and all other bits and pieces. They'll even give you a carrot in terms of pay rise and bonus which will then get eaten by transport costs making your actual pay in reality less than last year due to inflation, etc. I am thankful that our company doesn't do that. We have data that proves wfh is at least the same and better in terms of productivity. Oh, and also, we listened to our employees when they wanted complete flexibility. It was not just HR exercise sending questionnaire out and then ignoring it saying something like 'we hear you but...'.
