People leaving due to return to office on top of the layoffs and using expensive commercial real estate with those who stay is all icing as far as they are concerned.

Collaboration is important and a key part of sustaining a culture with your peers, with your colleagues," Tan added.
BS. Collaboration does not require people to physically occupy the same space. It does require communication though, which happens quite easily thanks to the internet.
This is just an excuse to get rid of people or to fill empty offices to appease money hungry property owners.

If physical contact was necessary for collaboration, then nearly every foss project would fail.

The important distinction there is those people want to work together to make a thing they want to make. Those people tend to also be extremely comfortable with digital communication as their primary method of interaction. Of course they can make it work.
I’m not saying people can’t cooperate remotely as well if not better than in person, or than any employer should be forcing anyone back to the office without hard evidence the remote work is fucking things up, but we know for a fact human behavior tends to change when interacting with people in person versus digitally, and it should be acknowledged that sometimes that means it’s not always going to work as well in every case.
