I doubt there are many people in tech with bad Internet. Worst case, there's Starlink.

All other issues are easily solvable too, either with the right tools, or the right processes.

(nb. I also think working at a coffee shop isn't for most people)

By coming back to the office?

Seems rather heavy-handed. I think you can, like, get better Zoom meeting without traveling 10 hours a week and using Zoom at a different computer.

Desk, chair, lightning, monitors are easily googlable, too.

Coming back to office creates more problems than it solves.

All those things are part of the office and you don't have to pay for them.

Other than commute which could be a bitch in the US what other problems for the company do they create? Yes hanging out at home is nice for you/me, you can rest, nap, be with your kids, do chores, but how would this matter to the company when people abuse these situations on a regular basis?

I gladly paid for them so I don't have to commute. Since going remote I could move to the countryside too. Bigger house, nicer environment, cheaper. My home office setup follows me if I switch jobs.

If you don't have the discipline to work when you are supposed to, that's a you problem.

Actually it's a company problem, that is precisely why this is one of the main reasons they are doing it and why it actually makes sense.

People always slacked off in the office. Probably a lot more than at home.

[EasyMark]

If they abuse them then their productivity plummets and they get fired.

Easily solvable? Tell that to the screaming toddlers.
