Work that's all about pure productivity is boring and monotonous, the little bit of randomness from a birthday or pot luck is nice to break up the monotony.

I swear some of y'all on these comments are actually middle managers who hate fun LMAO

The explanations given for requiring return to the office 99% of the time are related to productivity. They're pointing out the blatant hypocrisy because there is a lot of shit that reduced in office productivity and that's being ignored in all of these articles.

Exactly. The point is that work from home is probably more or at the very least not less productive. Other preferences and considerations exist of course but it is not as clear cut based on productivity as many return to office types make it out to be.
