Yeah, because folks like you insist that office culture has nothing to do with productivity. I wonder if you've ever worked somewhere productive.

Dragging? Are we slaves now?

Obviously we’re not slaves. But if your employer says everyone is required to return to the office on some date, it’s not like you have a lot of options for saying no other than not showing up to see what happens or finding alternative employment.

How is this different from any other office culture of participation? Align or leave is not a new thing. You do realize employees negotiated WFH and remote work with their employers _prior_ to 2019 without issues, right? I'm not sure why the bar had to be lowered from the point, to be frank.
