Comment on Ask HN: Why are companies pushing working from the office?

Comments

There is an old fart hierarchy. reminiscent of Ford in 1920, timeclocks, bullying, dominance etc who want to be the top bull in the herd, I suspect many fear for their jobs long term? The jobs suitable for online performance are also suitable for online measurement and supervision (the very etymology bespeaks 'overlook'). They fear a disturbance in their force, and many rightly fear having to learn to say 'do you want fries with that' = relearn a new career at their age! Many can not, but those that can be, should be, from now on. The pandemic simply jumpstarted the process - now is not the time to go back.
