The fact of the matter is when your company revolves around you being able to communicate and work from anywhere, it is a bad look for you tell people you can’t communicate effectively over the product you make. Anyone who knows business should know this and should know to keep their mouth shut and their policies focused on trying to destroy business.

Makes me feel like someone is paying to or making them do this. If it's best for 'THE' WFH company to WFO, then every company can say it's best their employees WFO.

Yes, the executives who are looking at empty offices with decades-long leases is what's "paying" them to do this.

Greedy dumbasses around the world are subject to sunk cost fallacy, apparently far worse than normal people.
