Return to work mandates are ridiculous, unnecessary and, in some instances, even cruel

• I have been a full-time remote worker for nearly all of my career.
• Return-to-office mandates are not really about a productivity or better meetings.
• They are about ensuring the company becomes the center of your life.

I am a fully remote employee and have been for almost my whole career. So I can say from experience that today’s corporate return-to-office mandates are ridiculous, unnecessary and, in some instances, even cruel.

These mandates are a make-believe golden wand that CEOs are waving while chanting the incantation “productivity.”
