The people advocating for a return to the office and an end to remote work seem to almost always be rich, white, cishet, abled men who, if they have children, have a spouse that picks up their slack. Remote work is more accessible, inclusive, and safe for marginalized people. https://fortune.com/2023/05/05/openai-ceo-sam-altman-remote-work-mistake-return-to-office/
@ashedryden I think it's even simpler than that. The people at the top are the people who thrived under the old status quo. They were the ones *freaking out* over the lockdowns, and they were the ones *amazed* when it turned out people were getting as much or more done at home.
Sure they want a return to a situation where they're at their most comfortable and powerful.
The pandemic showed that their way wasn't the only way to succeed.
