I work in a scientific lab. COVID+WFH has created a clear divide among our workforce. There are essentially two groups: those who have the flexibility to work remotely and those who can't. The first group deals with scientific equipment in a laboratory environment, making remote work unfeasible. I fall into the latter group as my primary role involves software development. I have a hunch that at some point, management might call upon remote workers to return. It's not about trust or productivity. (If it is they do a good job in hiding it.) The primary driving force behind RTO is our customers, who primarily work in-office, along with those who are required to be on-site. They perceive remote workers to be receiving an additional perk.
