They probably don’t want the office space they’re paying leases for to be empty. At least I’m pretty sure that’s most of why the company I work for settled on 3-2. They wanted everyone in 5 days a week and then they started to lose some fairly impactful people and ratcheted back their stance.

They claim it’s for “community” and “meetings” and “ease of collaboration”. But I think they just don’t want to look bad.
