To this day I have no idea why the return to the office 100% mandate is an industry standard. We lost a ton of qualified people to companies offering WFH, can’t hire the people we want since those candidates don’t want to relocate, and moral is shot across the company. I’m leaving this company in favor of one that offers partial WFH and more benefits.

  1. To make sure the commercial real estate industry doesn't fail
  2. Because it would be made obvious how unnecessary most middle managers are

Edit additional bonus content:

Many economies have the daily commute factored in. Think about how industries like auto, oil, road construction, fast food, etc... Would be affected if everyone worked from home.

  1. Because the company gets some tax breaks from the county by having asses in seats.
  2. Related to 1, your boss made poor real estate decisions pre-covid and wants to recoup that loss.
  3. Most CEOs are older and don't want to understand the newer WFH dynamic.
  4. Management does not trust the employees they hired.
