I personally saw WFH as another step in the advancement of labor that is not completely unlike 40h work week. Yes, not everyone can get it, but it is clear that: 1. it can work 2. it is against existing, entrenched interests Hence the tension. FWIW, our company just mandated RTO and there was push back, because the person making the decision made it basically within a week from publishing date and a lot of people have kids so it is not exactly a flip a switch kind of situation PLUS there are a couple of high visibility projects that rely on staff good will to push it past the finish line. No flexibility from company means no flexibility from us ( no more calls after 5 to deal with fires and so on ). I accept not all jobs are ready for WFH ( butcher, surgeon and so on ), but some absolutely are.
