The reason some people want RTO and a return to pre-covid culture is that they aren’t capable of being creative on their own. They need a physical space in which to hide (in plain sight) and actual creative people from which to slyly swipe ideas and take credit for. This is NOT the same as collaboration.

When using Teams as a collaborative tool attaboys are squarely in the chat where they belong, the work is in the Keynote, Slides, etc. and all of your glad handing shows as exactly what it is.

Freezing cold take. Just like you apparently work better at home (or are at least less paranoid about people stealing your work there), some work better in an office, for a variety of reasons.

If you work at an agency where you are genuinely concerned co-workers are stealing your work, you have bigger problems than RTO.

Or some people just feed off of others and let them make them better. I feel bad for anyone who has ever had to be your partner.

Or, and hear me out here, maybe not everyone works the same way you do? Seems like that might be a possibility as well.

Not disagreeing. I think the extremes on both sides of the equation are short sighted. Office 100% of the time is miserable, but it is easier to have organic conversations and work on a white board in person. Saying one way to work for everyone has always been an issue.

Creativity comes from experiencing the world. Not being in an office or at home. My best ideas hit me outside doing a thing.

The point I see, is, we are all adults. We should be able to work where we create the best. Office? Home? Both? What matters is if we deliver. Trust us!Personally, I can deliver from anywhere. Need an electrical outlet and maybe my AirPods . LFG!
