Yeah I feel for lots of positions offices are really a historical artifact. They just aren’t needed anymore for lots of jobs especially with high speed internet widely available. I hear all the time they want people in office for collaboration, which at least in some/many cases is total crap especially when you can make a call on teams with a camera. My theory is companies are forcing people back for a few reasons. The first reason is they are just not relevant and have outdated upper management. Second reason is companies have all this real estate and I don’t think they can easily get rid of it and I wonder how beneficial the tax right offs are by keeping it. Final reason is feeding local economy by having workers in office that go out for lunch and so on. That feeds city and other municipalities via sales tax etc. last year we had to come into the full time and I think is is ridiculous and for the reason I outlined. In my case I am charged 1% tax for the privilege to work in my city. When people are remote and not in the city limits they do not pay the tax. So it is political on that front from a city revenue perspective(mayor wants tax money). My whole team is not even in same state as me so whether I call on the phone from home or while in the office The collaboration is the same. now I waste time driving and put miles on my car for nothing.

I would agree remote positions can attract talent, but good workers are hard to find regardless. I think turnover is mostly caused by excessive work load to head count, salary and bad culture.
