I like this line of reasoning. It's crazy that so many still try to explain human behaviour as if it's rigidly rational. Have we learned nothing? There are an awful lot of social and political factors at play especially when it's about power and group identification. Something I note from interviews from RTO advocates is that the managerial class has an emotional reaction to WFH. I believe it wounds their sense of status and hierarchy - they resent the "unearned" freedom and comfort of people they have power over. They are not acting for business advantage but from a compulsion for their inferiors to know their place. It's very human sadly.

I don't know if this is actually true or not, but it is exactly how I feel (about the mangerial class).
