> there's still absolute value in returning to office because it promotes a sense of community and networking.

Without data it is religion. Even sect. If you want to insist, provide data how "absolute value" increases productivity.

So far, I suffer productivity loss after RTO. I also spend less time working (after 3 hours of commute I have very hard time convincing myself that I want to do some overtime -- a normal situation when I am WfH).

I know people who prefer to work from office (e.g., because no children distraction). The action work here is prefer. They are good enough teammate of mine not to impose their preferences under disguise of culture and senses.

I never said anything about "increasing productivity".
