personally I've come to believe that's not about the real estate investments. maybe some. nor just a generic assumption that people working at home are slacking off, maybe some. and not about the desire to express domination in person, maybe some.

I think that WFH substantially shifts the power balance to the worker. if I don't have to worry about my commute, or which city or country I'm actually working in, then the barriers to me changing employer start to really drop to zero. so if I feel bad enough about the situation, I can just spin up a new job without changing .. anything.

I understand if everyone else is WFH and I'm only hiring in office, that puts me at a disadvantage. I'm still willing to consider this thesis.
