Don’t forget too you will go the office to have video calls meetings just like if you were at home.

I can just open my laptop at home… oh you say I need to drive for an hour first. Should I drive in a circle? To a certain location? Oh, and it’s one hour before I open the laptop and then another hour after I close it. For free. In my own car. While endangering my life and paying for gas. Oh and it’s at certain hours.
What exactly is the benefit of this?

You get to pump up the ego of a man who holds you in contempt because you’re not a sociopath like him.

It's harder to maintain the workplace status/dominance hierarchy remotely.
A corner office is a useless status symbol when subordinates aren't visibly toiling away in their awful open plan office spaces.

To be fair, Googlers did this even before COVID, because crossing the Mountain View campus was a hassle and room-to-room video worked really well.
... oh, so, repeatedly.
... what, like 5 times a week?
... that's a lot of returning to a place I never much liked.
... and you say it will keep happening indefinitely?
...
... and I have to do it on my time.
... and at my expense?
...
... to hell with that!
