Funny that always the language is threatening as opposed to rewarding, “you are fired if you are not coming back”, “you won’t be promoted”, “you are not productive”, what about: “get back and get 40% instant increase”! Especially in this economy right now, I think a lot of people will actually consider it, but the fact that companies don’t offer that, tells exactly the story.

They may also consider working from home in future and then try to negotiate their "office coming" in lieu of additional compensation. Companies and their HR must have realized this. Personally, I think additional compensation or an allowance is totally fair and deserving for candidates who join office. After all, they do have to make sacrifices like travel expense, time spent on travelling to office (opportunity cost), time spent away from the family, relocation to a place near office (if needed), etc.
