Or.. they might have enjoyed their time at the office and want the new generation to have that experience as well: D

And both of them are wrong, because they _should_ be trying to figure out what works best for the person; not what worked best for _them_ and forcing it on the person.

Eh, there could be some people who prefer WFH but would benefit productively from RTO. It's about what as a policy is best, not for individuals.

I think the issue is when people conflate best for them with best ad policy

There main problem, at least in my experience, is that there's a direct conflict in it

- There are people that work better from home and get more done there

- There are people that work better in the office, with people around them

Regardless of which you pick, you're going to make one of those groups less productive.

I do agree that some people who want one thing but work better with the other. It's on the manager(s) to figure out which works before; for each individual and for the team.

A lot of people are of the mind of "well I had to do it so why shouldn't you?" Look at the discussions around student loan forgiveness for an example.

Because loan forgiveness makes no sense at all until the underlying system is fixed. It’s just absurd.

Cap fees and interest rates and the think about partial income based forgiveness.

The English system seems like a very reasonable compromise.
