Why do they so badly want us back in the offices? I really don't understand what they stand to lose by SWEs working remotely.
I don't know anyone that actually want to be back in the office full time, some are ok with part-time work.
Most people seem to be (anecdotally at least) reporting that they and their teams are more productive at home and their quality of life is improved because they aren't wasting time commuting.
Businesses could save money by renting smaller offices or doing away with offices completely.
Good engineers are just going to jump ship to wherever they can work fully remotely.
