As someone who works 100% remote and even quit my previous job and took a pay cut in order to keep working from home, I have mixed feelings about these orders.
I have 5 kids, and when I worked in an office and had 10 hour days plus an hour and a half drive on each end, I never saw them.
I noticed huge improvements in my relationship with them during the mandatory work from home period during covid and vowed to never go back to how things were.
I actually get a lot more done and am less distracted working from my home office.
We of course want out public servants to not have multiple jobs and eliminate bad workers, but generally, there's got to be better ways of accomplishing those things with proper management instead of sweeping return to office mandates.

" I actually get a lot more done and am less distracted working from my home office."
