Let’s not forget that all “return to office” mandates are really just a way for the C-suite to reduce headcount while appearing strong/decisive, avoiding negative press (and therefore spooking investors), and not having to pay severance.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a big fan of Teams. The fact that the software is named after a common organizational unit, and also a feature within the software is named after that same thing, is insane. Also, I haven’t seen such an unnecessary resource hog since the original Microsoft Edge.

It's also a justification for the millions of dollars they already spent on office space that isn't necessary anymore.

Yep. And as another commenter pointed out, the “leaders” pushing these return to office mandates usually have substantial commercial real estate investments.

No conflict of interest there…
