New Policy: Only the bottom-rung pawns have to return to office, top-level executives are exempt.

I've never understood why it isn't the other way around.

All the higher up corpos can be together in the office. After all, they seem to enjoy playing around in suits.

Honestly, it makes more sense - what am I, a mid-level scientist, going to bring to that corporate atmosphere? You're going to ask me to brainstorm in a meeting with an Executive VP? Yeah. Fucking. Right.

You give me work, I do the work. Yes I might need to ask a question, but that's uncommon and I can just teams for that.

The seniors execs? That makes sense. They need to all be on the same page, and talking to each other. Collaborating etc.

100% agree. Leave the people who would work the best at home at home. You want to play the corporate game? Come to the office.

You will arguably get better results in terms of your product.

They need to sit around conference room tables all day jerking each other off and then ordering lunch on the company card.

And by all day I mean until 2pm when they leave early for their tennis match or whatever the fuck they do.

We had some major construction done at our work recently. Our boss told us that if we wanted to work remote, do so and just keep it quiet; if we wanted to work in-office-they'd find us space. Everyone was expressly welcome to work remote, except "anyone with 'director' in their title." That was kinda cool.
