I mentioned to some remote friends that the only reason they were being given this kind of situation (work-from-home) is because the government had scared everyone into thinking that they were going to die from a cold, and employers were knee-jerking and allowing people to WFH.
Now that the plandemic has quieted down, employers want to see butts in seats because that's the easiest way to measure if someone is doing something, even if they aren't doing anything productive. If your butt isn't in that seat where I can see you, you're not working.
I had told friends from the beginning that this won't last very long past the quieting of the corvids, and right on cue companies are demanding people return to the office just like I and many others predicted. The cries of "what about sickness!" are ignored because they have the placebo shots to fall back on, and the obvious but not admitted fact that it didn't really do the damage that was predicted.
