Honestly, a lot of bosses and employees that prefer in office work quite simply hate their families and don't want to be around then. I get that, sometimes being around the wife and kids can be grating 24/7. Thankfully I'm not one of them. Then there are bosses who simply want the control. Last contract I had I was required to go into an office 3 days a week. All of my meetings were on chat and video. None were in person. They just wanted adult daycare. I wish we could just do hybrid in office days Monday through Wednesday and then remote Thursday and Friday. No one does this and it drives me nuts. The trend over the long term however are fully remote companies based in co working offices. My wife works for a fortune 500 that is pushing towards remote first because that means eliminating expensive office rent. Companies that have spent a lot of money on flashy offices or outright own their real estate will be more resistant to this simply because of sunk cost. However not having to pay rent or a mortgage speaks to shareholders. Outside of FAANG and a few select finance companies, ove the long term if companies can avoid rent they'll do so and I don't blame them.
