The mayor of my city is actively campaigning for going back to 5 day full workweeks for all office workers, under the bullshit guise of 'support small business'. She's a corporate shrill and has pivoted to because she wants to run for higher office and needs their campaign donations.
No, the company that owns all the business downtown, are giant mega real estate corps. That's who you are trying to benefit. My own company is downsizing our lease to 33% of our pre-pandemic square footage, because it makes no sense and our productivity is through the roof compared to being stuck in a open-office plan with people distracting each other for 50% of the work day.
I work less, and I get way more done because my time is much more focused, and more gets documented. Unlike in-office where more than half my daily workload was invisible because it was face to face/verbal interactions that never got recognized because they were not digitally recorded.
