Reports already indicated the majority of workers were more productive and generally happier at home during the pandemic not having to drive in to work and that's more time that can be used to actually work and end the day at a reasonable time as opposed to waking up early to get in on time and facing rush hour traffic to get home.

But companies already spent the money on their offices and their only "logical" response despite that reality is to continue to force people to go into the office.

Seen several stories in /r/antiwork where people found ways to prevent their company's communication apps from going to idle/away and managers thought they were being more productive.

A lot of it is outcome vs optics focused management. Middle managers thrive on optics.

There are thousands of managers nationwide that make tons of money from optics alone, and optics aren't relevant if your team is remote.
