They creep it up. Like frog in boiling water, not much to be done. 1 day a week with 1 optional day for the social butterflies. 2 days mandatory with 1 day optional for social butterflies. 3 days mandatories + some extra mandatory days like all hands and Q-end. Next up is 5 days mandatory with 2 optional days for social butterflies.

During COVID WFH peak I naively thought that the government, especially the EU, will take the growth of remote working as an opportunity for its Green Deal the bureaucrats love so much talking about. It started falling apart quickly when they started subsidizing restaurants, albeit that was the national government prerogative.

To this day I still wonder why there are no parties that tout this as part of their election programs. It's the way to reduce pollution and stimulate less-populated regions which have been dwindling as cities have been growing and getting so expensive.

there are lots of people out there who don't like remote work.

that said, you won't put me back in an office anytime soon, changing job next month because of that.

That might work for an organisation that only recently implemented remote work so has a great deal of their staff anyway in the same city as HQ. For fully remote workers there's no creeping. I live thousands of kilometres from my office, there's no practical difference for me between a day a week in office or full RTO.
