Less dramatic is simply a complete lack of empathy. The CEO of my company is really a sales guy at heart and got upset enough to start pushing for return to the office once the company lost deals because his competitors were putting people on planes for face to face meetings and we were still exclusively using Zoom.

But the thing is his IT support organization and other people in non-sales roles are also being told they too will RTTO. Surely the risk to their health far outweighs whatever immeasurable benefit to the firm accrues from butts in seats? But to a sales person who deals in relationships I'm sure anything but people working from the office feels unnatural.
