Here's the thing:

The reasoning behind the work from office mandate does not concern me; nor I will attempt to rationalize it.

I will not return to office, and I will organize with colleagues to make sure our interests are protected.

See you in the strike.

Won't work, because those who work remotely are already striking every day, by slacking off. From management's perspective your strike changes nothing.

(Yes, yes, I know you personally are a conscientious worker with a stellar work ethic and would never slack off on the company's dime, but let's be real here and recognize the population averages.)

This slackers you mention will slack in the office too while the productive remote workers (that would be the productive ones at the office) will leave for the competition.

Out of curiosity, which country do you live in where software engineers can strike.
