It has become a fake discussion already.

It is not the question anymore whether work at home is better or work at the office. It is not the question whether you go back to the place where you have worked before.

It is big bosses fabricating excuses for laying off people.

How? They have closed your old office long ago. Now they tell you that another place in a different state is "your" office. Now go and "return" to there. Or they have hired you for WfH with no plans to ever work in an office, and now they tell you to "return" to somewhere.

And then you can watch them moaning and whining how so many of their employees people just do not want to "return", and therefore they need stronger policies...
