Let's get real, white collar tech work is nothing like battles. Even outages are not that dramatic.

Not like physical danger, bou can lose a lot of money in minutes in some places.

Absolutely wild to take a discussion about "Return to Office" and pivot to soldiers in battle. Solid B for trolling. Would be A-caliber except effective militaries write a lot and use written words as a key part of their command and control. (I will escalate your "soldiers in battle" and ask whether you think launch command on a nuclear submarine would launch nuclear missiles solely on the basis of a quick call?)

I know, actually, but any place relying very strongly on formalised communication over dynamic approaches tends to underperform anyway (and militaries relearn that every so often), so all this stuff will resolve itself over time anyway. The non-social crowd will lose out, just give it time.

Btw., depending on country and situation, nuclear missile submarines can actually have wide latitude on decisions.
