I’m on a similar situation - managing a small team and got very similar perceptions.

If my company tries to enforce more than a couple days in office, I’m jumping somewhere else.

It makes sense that a management structure still culturally rooted in the industrial revolution's pattern of "work houses" clings on to in-person work to justify the structure.

It's quite a sweet little survival mechanism, where those whose jobs would be a bit redundant with a different setup have the power to order everyone back to the factory.

I just won't have any part in it. It's time for change. It's time for work to mean something different, with boundaries applicable to the output.

We're not making fabric at Victorian looms ... we're building software.
