    I’m old enough to remember computers being hyped as a way to cut all of our working hours down to a four or three day workweek. People were wondering what we were going to do with so much free time.

    Now look at where we are - any advancement is used as a tool to squeeze as much labor out of everyone as possible.

    Office workers have proven (with a 3 year track record) that they can be as productive with fulltime remote as with in office wor lk (with a huge improvement in work life balance), but managers and businesses are saying that everyone needs to RTO because of team building or better collaboration with zero data behind it.
