No Flexy, No Worky!
It's almost always the CEO or board demanding a return of bums on seats in order to satisfy some unachievable metric, when in reality we all know it's so they can look over the commoners in their kingdom.
Sad, short-sighted and expensive mistake. It would have been cheaper and more sensible to downsize the real estate and move to a fully remote model, but oh no, gotta have the shiny office space to show off to customers.
