I’m unsure why an engineer would want to be back in the office. There are a lot of distractions and unnecessary stress.

From my point of view, engineers who depend on others to get their work done like to be in the office. Because it makes it look like they are collaborating and getting work done.

From a manager point of view, this looks like collaboration as well. And would benefit the project. This is why they want people in the office.

I disagree with it. There are engineers who like to manipulate other people and it is far less likely to happen in a remote environment.

Just my observation, not 100% facts in all cases.
