This out. Your hypocrisy is glaring

Aside from saving money if you’re a smart business owner, you can actually help personal morale over time.

I appreciate working for a company that is all in on WFH. The office campus is still there but WFH…

We are ramping up WFH. Closing offices and going “remote first”

Many companies have found that productivity generally goes down with WFH.

IMO it's way more productive. You can wash the dishes, fold laundry and babysit between meetings.

Micromanaging and old school attitude.

A lot of office workers use their jobs as their entire social life and don’t like heading into empty offices

I think there are many companies who don’t know how to manage WFH employees. Our company sold off a bunch of office

Many companies have no clue how to measure productivity

Because I was so effective sitting in 10 hours of meetings per week

So now you run errands during those meetings.

I really like my job and my company. You seem a bit angry or bitter?

For some reason I read that YOUR company does that. I just don’t understand why

Some of the departments in my company don’t allow WFH.

It’s just like business. Some people are good at it. Some aren’t.

WFH makes a lot of sense for many jobs and should stick around.

Managing remotely might not be your skill set. Always time to find a new job.

Except WFH not only saves the individual money, it saves the company money too.

It's pretty simple, but man oh man do companies get hung up on dogmatic policy.
