For some people and some kinds of work, talking to other people is important.
And talking in person is much higher bandwidth for reasons we don’t completely understand.

Love how when it comes to RTO there’s always “some people”, “some work”, “for reasons we don’t completely understand”.

But for work from home you have cold hard objective metrics?

Yes. The world didn’t collapse overnight when everybody worked from home.
Worst case output is the same, so why should workers suffer more?

You mean you don’t love the horrible office politics? Where people treat each other terribly to get ahead by any means necessary? Where being “cool” is rewarded instead of actual results?
The people who like going into the office at my work, go in to socialize.
They are bored at home. It literally has nothing to do with being productive.
I am sure this is all a matter of scale though. My place is really small. At the scale of Microsoft I am sure there are thousands of people really gaming the system badly.
