I go to the office to socialise. I stay home to work.

Company should really hire people they trust - this includes trusting them to do their jobs in the best way they see fit (blah blah more nuanced points about trade-offs etc, but the general point still stands).

If my company tried to take us back to the office 100% of the time, I would quit. If they tried to regulate it in terms of arbitrary n-days in office, I would find that pretty condescending and indicative of micro-management.

Perhaps this perspective is a little skewed by what I do - based in the UK, but the clients I work for are in the US. Going into the office just means communal remote working anyway.
