Nobody was ever prohibited from coming to the office. If you like it, do it.

But forcing people to come to the office when they hate it, is counter-productive.

A lot of people are not responsible enough to work well remotely.

    Then they are also not responsible enough to work at the office, you can't pay a nanny who sith with them and tells them to keep working 8 hours a day at the office anyway. Those people need to be let go because you can't trust them.

      Actually, having people at the office often works like peer pressure in that people at least pretend to work around their co-workers. Something which doesn't exist at home.

    I can make unfair generalizations too.

    A lot of people who prefer remote work have a superiority complex over their peers. They’re usually hard to work with and unreliable, and think that as long as they’re performing their individual tasks they’re allowed to be awful communicators.

I disagree, and clearly most companies opting for some kind of RTO are on my side.

The biggest benefit of an office is collocation. People need to be forced to come to an office or they won’t do it, and team efficiency will go down.

Even if you think you’re performing well, the entire team suffers for it. Miscommunication happens. People get blocked for longer. Juniors can’t get the mentoring they need.

If you disagree that’s fine, go work for a remote company. But clearly the tide is turning against you with more and more companies enforcing RTOs.
