As someone who has been remote for 8+ years, it's extra disconcerting that now some companies are more in the office than they were even before covid. It's totally about control as you said. I'm at least hoping that it eventually returns to where it was.

Government of Canada

Some employees had remote work before COVID, after COVID they implemented mandatory 40 to 60% for everyone no matter their previous agreement... Except the departments where they have a hard time hiring... But only temporarily...

I think (at least in tech) we are seeing a brain drain where companies with strong RTO mandates can neither retain nor attract talent. Remote-first companies should be at a big advantage. Time will tell if it matters.
