Working from home proved that most of the people are capable of “self-managing” and don’t need a corporate drone telling them what to do. I have a feeling that the push to get back to the office is fueled by insecurities of middle management that became redundant.

When I worked in the office I worked in a cubicle all on my own behind a support column and a potted plant that I put there specifically for the purpose of being unviewable by the idiot manager who wandered around and got in everyone’s way.
Also now people don’t randomly come and ask me questions about why the printer isn’t working, or start sentences with “can you just”, and “it will only take a moment”.
I don’t know if I’m more productive at home than when I was in the office, but I’m definitely not less productive. I would probably be more productive but there really isn’t that much to do. My job is to basically sit around and be there I’m ready to jump into action when everything breaks.
