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.
Does it hurt your feelings that I'm a responsible adult and am able to get my work done without some middle manager drone staring over my shoulder all day?
Or are you angry that people are screwing with your precious 9 to 5 ideology?
Again, if the job is getting done, what business is it of yours that someone is taking an hour or so in the middle of the day to get some fresh air and get their vitamin D levels up?
And if the job isn't getting done, it's because the middle management drone isn't doing his job.
During covid,a lot of our office workers worked from home, they didn't do shit,our payroll was messed up and lots of other problems. Their no doubt about plenty of guys tell us their wife or other family member doesn't do shit at home.

You know as well as I do that the majority of people are not like you. You give most people an opportunity to be lazy, and they'll take it.
Not sure why you're dying on this hill.
