> Managers and executives felt a tiny bit less powerful for a small amount of time due to their workers pushing for remote and having the leverage to do so.

They are in 'avoid responsibility and blame all misses on circumstances outside their control' mode. Remote work is the perfect excuse for incompetent management in big tech.

Good theory. Killing remote seems the first line of defense in covering.

Kind of killing the golden goose though. If this was the plan then it would be better to NOT force a return to office and just keep blaming everything on WFH over and over with a little "millennials/Z just don't want to work anymore" sprinkled in.

  It's middle management mostly directly responsible for IC/team productivity and blaming misses on WFH. Upper management is hearing 'WFH is the problem' from middle management and making the RTO decisions.

This sounds much more likely to me than the revenge narrative.
