> Human contact is more important than efficiency gains, hence mandating return-to-office.

First, citation needed. Second, in this day and age companies try whatever they can to ruin in-office employees' morale as well, which goes counter to the position that social quality of life is important for efficiency.

Poe's law strikes again, I should have added "/s" at the end of my message.

If I had to rewrite my previous message in a less subtle way, it would be that companies are constantly contradicting themselves when giving any public "reason" for their actions, and I do not think employees' happiness (which fathomdeez focuses on) is anywhere close to their actual reason.

The endless Q&A between employees and bosses show that it's not about collaboration, and bosses aren't saying what it's really about. None of their answers make sense.
