Do you think only ineffective, low performance people will go into the office? This is a "yes and" situation, not a binary one. There will be high performers who choose to stay at home and there will be high performers who choose to go in. Between the two, they're going to choose the ones that go in. They clearly place some sort of value on having people in office, whether that is to help grow new employees, build a specific in-office culture, or because they want their leads and leaders to have physical, face to face interactions. I just don't believe it is bad for them to be transparent about what they want, to use it as a filter for who they're going to promote, and set expectations accordingly. If you don't like it, you can choose not to work there.
