No thanks.

Yeah working from home I already have my own office, just a few steps from my bedroom, with no manager looking over my shoulder, a fully stocked kitchen just downstairs, and 0 distractions while I work

Stop trying to make return to office happen, it won't for anyone with negotiating power, and those are the most valuable employees. Try to make your employees go back to office and the best ones will just go work for someone else

It's extremely telling that hardly anyone asked "how can we make the office more attractive?" and instead focused on pressure and threats.

I would really like an office nearby, a proper desk setup eats up a lot of space in my apartment. But my employer's office is 200km away and the local companies pay 30% less. I'm staying at home.
