The part of this that is so bizarre to me is that the offices to which folks are being asked to return are frequently ergonomic wastelands of poorly ventilated open floor plan desk motels that are difficult to sanitize effectively, if employers are even trying.

The policies aren't even coherent enough to motivate companies to actually make their workplaces conducive to effectiveness.

They dont care about that they want to see butts in the seats. Not even productivity matters. What’s important is control.

I get it.

That they're willing to sacrifice effectiveness for an illusory sense of control is precisely what I'm characterizing as bizarre ;-).
