A couple of jobs back, years before the pandemic, the company got acqui-hired by a big WITCH. I went from full-time WFH to commuting an hour each way, two hours for a single journey if the traffic was bad. I'd arrive at my desk, and... log in to a computer located 2,000+ miles away from me in a secure data center, and work on some secure software. During the day I'd have meetings, all remote, where I'd have to hunt for an empty conference room, because you cannot have a remote meeting at your desk and disturb all the colleagues around you.
All scheduled meetings were required to be remote, even if the other people you were meeting with were in the same building, because we didn't want to discriminate against those meeting participants that were on the other side of the country or the world. People would horse-trade meetings, as in, "who else is on this meeting? Just the two of us? I'll cancel my meeting due to a conflict or personal errand, you want to go grab coffee and just casually chat about work?"
And then at the end of my work day, I'd hang around until the wee hours of the morning at my office desk, so I could have a remote meeting with the team in Taiwan because corporate required that all meetings are required to go through their network infrastructure for security.
There were other reasons I quit, but I was so demotivated by this corporate stupidity. I lasted a grand total of 90 calendar days. I still to this day do not know if I was being screwed with, but everyone I spoke with said "yep, that's how we do things around here, and nobody can get it changed even though we've tried."
