What does it matter as long as the job gets done? People aren't more efficient at their jobs when they sit in an office surrounded by other employees. They just become creative at pretending to be busy.
The only people I really see pushing to get people back in offices are middle managers. Those people who don't have much of a job other than babysitting grown ass people.
I've found that my productivity goes down when I work in an office because of all the Chatty Cathies who want to gossip, or want me to sing Happy Birthday to Bob, or ask me for help fixing their printer (ffs, just turn it off and back on. Problem fixed.) And of course there are all the meetings called by middle managers to go over what we did last week, what we're doing this week, and what we will do next week. All of which are either pointless or could be covered in a brief email that takes 2 minutes to read rather than the hour scheduled to suffer through it.
It's weird how I see people arguing against wage slave mentality here and then something like this pops up, which is the epitome of being a wage slave.
And many people don't do an honest day's work sitting in an office. If they're not getting the job done, they should be fired. No matter where they work.
But that doesn't seem to be the case here, when people are still being employed. Their bosses are either satisfied with their work, or are horrible bosses who aren't doing their job.
As to this story about this guy paying an analyst to walk around asking people where they work and all that, it should be filed under "Things That Never Happened".
If you criticize them for the lack of work, then they call you names or say you're discriminating. We see it more and more in this work from home culture.
Just go into the damn office. If you're on the clock, you shouldn't be working on your tan.

Are they working if they are sunning in the park?
What does it matter when they work if the job is getting done?
Jobs probably not getting done.
That's why he's shorting the companies.
Just cause you do an honest days work from home, many others do not.
