Pretty much. The only time I've considered going back to in-person work since the pandemic was for a FAANG. If you think your employees want to go back to the office, you are either a big tech company or you are deluded

Realistically most FAANG employees are not doing anything that will be written down in history either. For example, whichever division at Microsoft is responsible for Teams.

It's a common joke at Google: thousands of PhDs moving fields from one protobuf into another. Can confirm, did some of that personally before transferring into a more interesting area.

Actually, I work for one of the FAANGs. The vast majority of employees don't one to go back to the office either.

What makes it even worse is the one-size-fits-all mandate, with strict enforcement, like you didn't come in to the office Monday, so you have to come on Tuesday.
