I strongly disagree with https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ceos-finally-admit-next-return-133000281.html .
CEO's are surrounded by yes-men who agree to every whim they have.
I promise that they yes-men will cherry-pick something else that "improved" during the return-to-office order and use that as justification. There are bonus points if it's not measurable. (The most recent reason that I heard was "imagination".)
The return-to-office order is because middle managers can't strut around and Look Important unless they have their serfs around to lord over.
In software, every programmer can tell you what specifically improves productivity: an office where you can close the door. And every programmer can tell you what ruins productivity: interruptions. Yet, businesses moved to "open offices" not because of programmers, but to make middle management Feel Important.
I appreciated the years of working from home. I expect only the best companies to recognize that it lowers costs and improves morale.
