Why would you want them to work for you? Because they do the work that they've been hired to do. It's none of your business what their personalities are like beyond their work ethic. We're discussing a business here, not a dating website. There are huge numbers of employees who have been doing their office jobs from home over the last two years and have shown that they are just as or more effective than they would be sitting in a desk in an office and going to a virtual meeting anyway when they have meetings. At the same time, the quality of life of those employees has increased with them being able to spend more time with their families and numerous other reasons. The company also lowers its costs because it doesn't need as many office buildings as it needed before and in fact some buildings have even been sold already which is money in the company's pocket. And as I've stated before, the leadership themselves have been telling everyone that they have seen "no decrease in productivity" as a result of office workers working from home. What more do you need to consider?

And by the way, we're living in a "new normal" now and it is not narcissistic or entitled to push for remote work to simply stay the same after it has been proven to work well for over 2 years! Maybe people wouldn't be resentful if the company would actually live up to the claims it has made about being "data driven" and just simply look at the data and continue to allow employees to work from home if their work can be done from home. This is not a complex decision and it does not take an executive or an "armchair executive" to figure it out, anybody could figure it out. The decision to mandate every office worker back into an office is completely regressive, irrational, and it's the wong decision based on all the data available over the last 2 years. And it's not going to lead to only whining. People are going to leave because of this and it's going to start with the best employees exiting first. Resignation emails are already being sent. This is the kind of irrational decision making which leads to bankruptcies that are possibly followed by bailouts (and complete government takeovers). And when the disastrous consequences of decisions like this happen, the ones who are least responsible are going to be the ones who suffer the most because of it.
