> Incorrect, and I'll explain why. Remote work DOES NOT imply anything about how, or where, you have to work.

No, I can assure you it is correct. It DOES imply that I am not guaranteed the thing I want which is to work in an office solely with other people in that office. This is the same that an RTO decree does not guarantee that people will be allowed what they want — which is to work remotely.

Both groups don’t get the thing they want when the company puts them in the situation they don’t like. They’re exactly the same thing.

> Because you personally enjoy working in an office, you believe everyone should be forced to as well at your whim.

Again, no, never said this.

I said that a company deciding that a RTO strategy is best for them is fine. A company choosing to work remotely is fine. But if you dislike the choice your company makes, either learn to live with it or get a new job.

Neither decision is bad. It just depends on which side of the foaming-at-the-mouth aisle you sit.

> Because you personally enjoy working in an office, you believe everyone should be forced to as well at your whim.

Again, this is the same thing as the remote worker believes. Because they enjoy working with other remote workers they believe everyone should be forced to as well at their whim.

> If you disagree, I encourage you to go to the office by yourself. You'll quickly realize you don't care for the office, you care for forcing people to be in the office with you.

I actually work at a 100% remote company and do go to an office everyday (albeit one I rent for myself). Have been doing it since 2021.
