The pendulum seems to be swinging back on remote work, and not in a way that many of us are happy about. Looking at recent discussions online, there’s a clear trend of companies pushing for more office presence, typically settling around that magic number of three days per week.

Now, watching companies backpedal on their WFH policies feels like watching a streaming service suddenly reverting to scheduled programming – it just doesn’t make sense anymore.
