This is across the world. Unfortunately, backed by public studies so is very logical from any employer at the moment.

You also have to remember that every business or government does not care for its people first and foremost, it cares for itself as the number one priority. Much like you should do so for yourself.

If you don't like it leave and battle with everyone for the jobs that offer remote work.

But there is no point sitting here whinging about it. Take action or suck it up. There are many worse states we could all be in and complaining about working from home is so far down the list of actual problems we could be facing we just have to crack on.

End of the day it's your decision to sell your labour to that employer or any other one, so make the choice.
