| Mar 23, 2022 at 17:10 | comment | added | Escaped dental patient. | It's become clear from the answers particularly this one - see comments that there could be more clarity regarding what you mean by "upper-class" and "corporate workers". Could you edit the question to make it clearer. | |

| Mar 21, 2022 at 22:11 | comment | added | Salvatore Ambulando | @JohnO Oh absolutely, the methods for bosses to exploit workers are infinite :p My point was just that the decision isn't based on efficiency alone. | |
| Mar 21, 2022 at 21:55 | comment | added | John O | @Appleguysnake That's the short term perspective. The long term perspective is that once the argument evolves in the next 5 years, those same bosses may yet backpeddle and pretend they never said that. Offices are expensive, far more than many realize, and forcing an employee to pay for their own "office" out of their homes is a solid cost-cutting strategy. | |
| Mar 21, 2022 at 20:53 | comment | added | Salvatore Ambulando | @JohnO You've also presumably lived through the beginning of 2022, where many people are having the question of "what's the point of going to the office" answered by their bosses with "because we say you have to, and we'll fire you if not". (The tech industry being a notable outlier) | |

| Mar 20, 2022 at 8:52 | comment | added | Starfish Prime | If you didn't go back to the office, the value of commercial real estate would plummet, and that would make a lot of rich and influential people very upset. | |

| Mar 20, 2022 at 4:20 | comment | added | John O | You've just lived through the year 2021. Lots of people are asking what is the point of going to another location for their job even today. True, there are retail and hospitality jobs where that is still an essential part of the work, but for everyone else? It just doesn't seem like a reasonable proposition. It is not difficult to imagine technology either making jobs where "going to work" is a requirement to become obsolete, or making those same jobs doable remotely. Your premise mostly falls flat. | |
