Please bring this up every time someone mentions "geez guys people went to the office before the pandemic it's not that big a deal just be professionals." The RTO zealots are interested in control, not merely returning to the status quo.

I think it’s an utter joke that people want to be paid many times the national average, yet don’t want to come into the office like every generation before them. If you don’t want to come into the office go work for a fully remote outfit but then take the paycut and non-existent training that comes with that.
